I kid you not, I was actually looking for a solution like that yesterday! hopefully it'll handle a few tens of gigabytes between my two Linux laptops.

This is one file at a time. It's designed more for very quick "Oops I need that photo" sort of stuff.

What you want to do is better served by NFS, SMB or SFTP.

Am I allowed to think it's weird the entire open source community can't compete with SMB?

[–] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

SMB is a protocol that can be used with Samba software in Linux since many years, so there is no need to compete I figure. Depending on the use case, I like to use rsync for copying files across.
