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.
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
I don’t think the entire service is open source but I really like https://wormhole.app/
OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.
Syncthing
OnionShare
SFTP should come with your OS. If you’re on *nix, some fiddling around with usergroups is recommended for security reasons.
Croc, although it’s command-line only.
Syncthing is also great but may not be what you’re looking for.
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.
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?
Syncthing is pretty good.

It uses webrtc for P2P connections.
rsync
Edit: Or maybe you want a GUI?
