I’ve got a server, a friends got a server, what’s the best way to share stuff between the two?
Station wagon full of tapes.
Rsync
LAN party!! You have the optimal excuse to make one happen ;)
We use Tailscale to share between accounts.
But for large transfers I use an encrypted HDD.
You can’t beat the bandwidth and reliabilty of mailed ssd’s
For large volumes of data, nothing beats shipping a large external drive (with a fast interface) from location to location.
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.
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?
SFTP or WebDAV would work.
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.
