Like Localshare but works over the internet?
Any recommendations appreciated
Thanks in advance

@7_Stipend_Jackal Not really sure what you mean by “like Localshare”. Is that a specific piece of software, or do you just mean sharing files between two devices on a local network via whatever protocol?
I’ve played around with croc a while back just to test, seems okay.
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.
I don’t think the entire service is open source but I really like https://wormhole.app/
Syncthing
OnionShare
Croc, although it’s command-line only.
Syncthing is also great but may not be what you’re looking for.
SFTP should come with your OS. If you’re on *nix, some fiddling around with usergroups is recommended for security reasons.
pairdrop.net maybe?
It’s mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.
I use this all the time, also nice for text share.
rsync
Edit: Or maybe you want a GUI?
why not something as basic as sftp?
One of the GUI versions of Magic Wormhole is the best and easiest way. Here’s my favorite https://rymdport.github.io/
maybe 0up.io?
In order of personal preference:
scp (sftp)
rsync/openrsync
nfs
host files on an ftp server with ftpd
hosting files on an http server with httpd

It uses webrtc for P2P connections.
Syncthing?
