Under file sharing and synchronization
OpenSSH provides a secure remote file access protocol called SFTP. SFTP shares can be mounted as remote filesystems by many clients on all platforms.
@jungle-boogie commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2015):
I wouldn't really think this is a self hosted service as its apart of linux and bsd by default.
@nodiscc commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2015):
All distributions do not come with openssh-server installed by default. Also SFTP is a very decent and secure file sharing/transfer protocol and should get a mention here. While it may come installed by default, it needs configuration (mainly editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, authorizing user's SSH keys, and opening firewall ports/forwarding NAT)
@jungle-boogie commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2015):
Yes, sftp is a great method to share/retrieve data and I'm not meaning to minimize it's use and helpfulness to share data. You should consider adding all OS' to the list and a computer as those too need configuration.
@nodiscc commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2015):
Many people do not know about SFTP (how do I setup a file server is a recurring question) and for a large majority i would recommend SFTP over pydio/owncloud/seafile anytime. The fact that we list web file sharing solutions but not tried-and-true protocols like SFTP/SMB is somehow strange.
@jungle-boogie commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2015):
I then recommend a link to Microsoft's openSSH implementation:
https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH
@nodiscc commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2015):
You could send a pull request for win32-openssh. It may be preferable to link directly to a page about SFTP (same for linux/bsd openSSH).
