    Surprised no one just said Samba or NFS over a tunnel (Tailscale, WireGuard, etc).

    Or by “sharing” do you mean keeping files synced between the two for replication?

      Using a tunnel is definitely the way to go and very easy to set up. Please don’t share over https if you don’t know what you are doing

        Even worse, don’t use the suggested Samba, NFS without a tunnel either! You should probably have the default ports blocked at the router.

    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.

        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 @[email protected]

    Exposing it over HTTP ensures all can access, but that’s my best solution. I don’t know what your intentions are, or what your pain-points are, or what you’re willing to deal with, or what your data is and if it poses a risk to you personally to have it exposed.

      Yeah, forwarding a port to a server with SFTP allows you both to have two-way links. Have done this with some of my friends as well.

      Sneakernet via a HDD is also damn helpful for initial bulk transfers.

    Flash drive in person.

    They take what they want, you do the same. Boom both are better off.

      Export the titles of files and ask them to pick then mail a 1tb USB drive back and forth

          Depends how close they are. Most of my friends (that are into self-hosting and collecting Linux ISOs) are across the country / world. So mailing encrypted SSDs works best for large transfers and nextcloud for small transfers

    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.

    SFTP has been mentioned and is a good choice but this could also be done over torrents too. It’s the other most common legal use besides Linux distros.

    For large volumes of data, nothing beats shipping a large external drive (with a fast interface) from location to location.

    You could also set up a jellyfin (for media) or gameyfin (for games) container, expose that to the internet and give them credentials.
