I’ve got a server, a friends got a server, what’s the best way to share stuff between the two?

Station wagon full of tapes.
I don’t know… I’m skeptical of its bandwidth.
Exposing it over HTTP ensures all can access, but that’s my best solution. I don’t know what your intentions are, or what your pain-points are, or what you’re willing to deal with, or what your data is and if it poses a risk to you personally to have it exposed.
If you want a quick and easy way to share the odd file you could set up a syncthing shared folder and COPY things in to it that you want to share. When the other side MOVES them out of the shared folder they will be removed from the shared folder on your side.
The advantage of this is security. No access is given to your system. If your friends box is compromised you dont have an nfs mount or ssh key on their machine. The worst that can be done to you is copies in the shared folder are removed or malicious files are placed in the shared folder but they wont be able to execute.
You also dont need to open any ports for syncthing , it will use relays if it cant make a direct connection.
SFTP or WebDAV would work.
Yeah, forwarding a port to a server with SFTP allows you both to have two-way links. Have done this with some of my friends as well.
Sneakernet via a HDD is also damn helpful for initial bulk transfers.
We use Tailscale to share between accounts.
But for large transfers I use an encrypted HDD.
Sync thing has been great and convenient for me. Use tailscale, zero tier or just raw wire guard to see each other
Get 'em in the same room together, put on some Barry White, and let the magic happen.
Just a feeling I get, but open directories and hoarders are going to become more popular.
You could also set up a jellyfin (for media) or gameyfin (for games) container, expose that to the internet and give them credentials.
Rsync
For large volumes of data, nothing beats shipping a large external drive (with a fast interface) from location to location.
You could set up a tunnel between the two… a job that rsyncs a folder to the other server automatically when something is added.
Just a thought.
SFTP or FTPS with FXP
FXP
Oh wow, there’s a name I ain’t heard in a while.
Maybe not the best place to ask but, who’s down for similar? The how can be discussed
croc is not bad:
