Remote file transfer

Post by Drew66 »

Hi all, I'm new to this site and linux. I only installed it two days ago.

I have built a new system to store media on , mainly photos.

I'm planning on touring europe next year (c19 permitting) for 3 or 4 weeks.

My question is, is it possible to transfer photos from a remote windows laptop, to my home linux system, while i am away from home. It would be a bonus if others could also connect to my home system.

Thanks Andy

A Nextcloud server will do what you want. https://nextcloud.com/ I've had one set up for local use only, but it is designed for remote access. I'm not sure if the free version is open to multiple users. There are lots of videos on Youtube showing setup.
Go Steady, but keep going
