I’ve got a server, a friends got a server, what’s the best way to share stuff between the two?
If you’re wanting to share all files, many of the methods already mentioned work well. If you’re wanting to share specific files, CopyParty is a good way to go.
The documentation gives me yt-dlp PTSD 😶
Absolutely this OP. Have a quick watch of the feature showcase video and you will see just how perfect this is for your needs
Yeah this right here looks exactly what I was looking for.
Been transferring files for sometime over a Wireguard connection, but it’s a bit of a pain to use so I’ve been looking for something better.
Appreciate the tip @mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com
You can’t beat the bandwidth and reliabilty of mailed ssd’s
Get 'em in the same room together, put on some Barry White, and let the magic happen.
We use Tailscale to share between accounts.
But for large transfers I use an encrypted HDD.
If you want a quick and easy way to share the odd file you could set up a syncthing shared folder and COPY things in to it that you want to share. When the other side MOVES them out of the shared folder they will be removed from the shared folder on your side.
The advantage of this is security. No access is given to your system. If your friends box is compromised you dont have an nfs mount or ssh key on their machine. The worst that can be done to you is copies in the shared folder are removed or malicious files are placed in the shared folder but they wont be able to execute.
You also dont need to open any ports for syncthing , it will use relays if it cant make a direct connection.
LAN party!! You have the optimal excuse to make one happen ;)
May as well crack out DC++ and start heading your files.
Sync thing has been great and convenient for me. Use tailscale, zero tier or just raw wire guard to see each other
Just a feeling I get, but open directories and hoarders are going to become more popular.
You could also set up a jellyfin (for media) or gameyfin (for games) container, expose that to the internet and give them credentials.
If you want to run a mirror, rsync over ssh is one of the simplest ways.
Dc++?
Maybe not the best place to ask but, who’s down for similar? The how can be discussed
SFTP or FTPS with FXP
FXP
Oh wow, there’s a name I ain’t heard in a while.
Messenger Pigeons.
You could do tailscale shared nodes and share just your jellyfin servers that way.
