networking - How should I make files downloadable? - Ask Ubuntu
this question has answer here:
i have small server i've been using stuff internal our house - running plex tv, mostly. i'd make of documents on available friends download on internet, i'm wary of installing apache , running full-on web server if don't need to.
would better idea try set ftp server instead? or option? there 'correct' way this?
(for purpose of question, friends capable of following technical instruction level of being able connect ftp server, not further. running mix of oses , in various locations around country.)
ftp convenient option. if concerned security, can either
- set ftp require "ftp on explicit ssl/tls" @ server
- set vpn , open ftp server vpn
the first of 2 options going easiest. easy enough instruct friends of settings use in filezilla access server. filezilla try using explicit ftp on tls default, no additional configuration should needed if use filezilla.
another security tip: use strong passwords ftp, , give ftp server access specific files want share.
