I am running Leap and need to set up an FTP server for the home network. Nothing fancy, a fixed username/password giving read/write access to a directory. Using my own main user sounds a bit insecure, though?
It depends... Is the computer Your main working station? Is it behind reliable firewall? Can You trust Your users?
I understand that ftp transmits the login/password in the clear, so using it for real system users across internet can not be safe. Inside a local network, it is different.
Yes. It relies on the quality of firewall. Anyway, I prefer SSH/SFTP.
Or just use scp - no configuration at all.
SCP runs over SSH, doesn't it? So that SSH server must be configured, IMHO. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/
