scp or tftp

merely do these out of convenience

If it lay across NAT, then SCP

Else, I just use NFS

scp; dunno

I copied HL2 from one laptop to another with FireWire a few weeks ago. Not the fastest, but it works.

Typically rsync over ssh.

A hard drive if it's big stuff, rsync/scp otherwise.

USB is kind of slow. I needed to transfer 5 gb of files yesterday, so I just put it on a local server and downloaded by connecting to that. Very fast.

What is eSata

based, i'm a longtime syncthing shill. i've been using resilio sync as of late to connect my linux devices to my iOS device and it also seems to be a good solution.

Everything is stored on my home server, so I have a SSHFS share on all my machines. Plain and simple. I hate NFS & SMB. Pure bloat in my use case.

Syncthing is pretty shit, but I am more embarrassed to have once been a dropbox shill. It did work well, but of course it's an absolute NSA botnet.

sftp

>>1019968

I love how you completely leave out the S part, and make it more bloated than FTP at the same time. Also, if you cannot write your own FTP server, consider suicide.

I use Nitroshare.

for big files, netcat. Comes without the encryption overhead of scp. Not secure but works with everything as netcat is in busybox. Perfectly fine for home.

For file transfer with my botnet systems, syncthing. Runs under it's own unprivileged user on my linux boxen, with access only to a very few selected directories. I don't let it outside my home network regardless as something about it gives me the strong feeling it's probably riddled with security holes. Don't know why. Software like this just kinda tends to be.

scp for very few files

sshfs for more and larger files but between hosts I don't want connected all the time

syncthing for constant updating of rather small files

SMB/NFS for trusted machines in LAN

I only got *nix systems, so normally use ssh-based method. Either scp if it's just one file, or else I'll do it from midnight commander where it's easy to tag a bunch of random files.

>>1019915

seriously though, why is transferring from a harddrive bad? I back up everything to it anyway

I use my shitty program.

rsync/sftp. I actually find it easier and faster than screwing with flash drives. I'm often grabbing config files off another machine.

right click > copy

plug mouse into new pc

right click > paste

for things i want to keep in-sync on all of my devices, i use syncthing.

for regular transfers, scp/sftp.

You'll go far.

SSDs are gay.

>>1020632

you could build mice with memory cards built in just for this purpose and you would make loads of shekels

dont be surprised when you see these because some china nigger in shenzen sees this idea

>>1019870 (OP)

syncthing not because of a balding guy told me to use thing program

>>1019870 (OP)

samba4lyfe even on *nix

Why not just make it private torrent?

I usually use rsynch through ssh and an ethernet cable.

advantages:

it is relatively fast

it doesn't require too much extra hardware

disadnavtages:

it requires an ethernet cable

it's kindof annoying to set up

you have to get up to unless both machines are right in front of you.

>tfw fell for the DD-WRT meme

>DD-WRT build for my routers has a proven bug

>network file sharing of any kind doesn't work because of this bug

>years later the bug still isn't fixed and probably never will be

Because of this I'm stuck with transfering files through hard drives.

>>1019870 (OP)

sshfs because I'm lazy

git-annex is great
