What is your favourite way to transfer files in your homelab? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

Not gonna lie, I just map a network share and copy and paste through the gui.

Sounds very straight forward. Do you have a samba docker container running on your server or how do you do that?

Set up smb on my file share VM.
My dedicated docker host accesses it through an NFS mount.

I just type sftp://[ip, domain or SSH alias] into my file manager and browse it as a regular folder

Dolphin?

Any file manager on Linux supports this

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I have two servers, one Mac and one Windows. For the Mac I just map directly to the smb share, for the Windows it's a standard network share. My desktop runs Linux and connects to both with ease.

I dont have a docker container, I just have Samba running on the server itself.

I do have an owncloud container running, which is mapped to a directory. And I have that shared out through samba so I can access it through my file manager. But that's unnecessary because owncloud is kind of trash.
