Hello selfhosted! Sometimes I have to transfer big files or a large amounts of small files in my homelab. I used rsync but specifying the IP address and the folders and everything is bit fiddly. I thought about writing a bash script but before I do that I wanted to ask you about your favourite way to achieve this. Maybe I am missing out on an awesome tool I wasn’t even thinking about.

    • sftp for quick shit like config files off a random server because its easy and is on by default with sshd in most distros
    • rsync for big one-time moves
    • smb for client-facing network shares
    • NFS for SAN usage (mostly storage for virtual machines)
