I am looking at using FreeFileSync to mirror drives between two Linux PCs. From what I have read, FFS can use SMB or SFTP for this purpose. Are there other alternatives?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm also a Linux user. Those two Protocols are two primary protocols available on Linux. What other protocols were you thinking of wanting to use?
In my opinion setting up open SSH server on each machine is a lot easier than setting up Samba. Then you can use SFTP.
I wouldn't know what other protocols at least I can't think of any.

Many thanks. I am new to Linux, intentionally taking baby steps and trying to avoid assumptions, hence my need for confirmation. I shall be going ahead with SFTP.
