There is a periodic meeting of linux users in my area where everyone brings laptops and connects to a LAN. Just wondering if I want to share files with them, what are decent options? Is FTP still the best option or has anything more interesting emerged in the past couple decades? Guess I would not want to maintain a webpage so web servers are nixed. It’s mainly so ppl can fetch linux ISO images and perhaps upload what they have as well.
sFTP. If you have a machine with a ssh server, it has sFTP capabilities.
Indeed i noticed
openssh-sftp-serverwas automatically installed with Debian 12. Guess I’ll look into that first. Might be interesting if ppl could choose between FTP or mounting with SSHFS.(edit) found this guide
Thanks for mentioning it. It encouraged me to look closer at it and I believe it’s well suited for my needs.
Filezilla is also a popular option
I use filezilla but AFAIK it’s just a client not a server.
Yes, I meant as a client. I thought you were looking at options to hook up guests to a openssh-sftp-server
