"That article focused on the obvious tools (such as Samba and SCP), so I thought I'd revisit the topic, only highlighting the lesser-known options (especially for those new to Linux). Some of these options are fairly simple to use, while others are a bit more demanding and require considerable setup time. Others are easy and can be taken care of in seconds."
"In GNOME, go to Settings > Sharing and first enable the Sharing service (at the top right of the window). Once you've done that, enable File Sharing and you're done. You can also require a password and even limit it to specific networks. Once you've enabled the feature, your ~/Public folder should appear in various file managers on your network, where you can copy/paste files to and from."
Several lesser-known methods exist for sharing files between Linux devices. Options range from very simple to more complicated solutions, with each tool being free and some pre-installed. GNOME includes a built-in file sharing feature that can be enabled via Settings > Sharing, which exposes the ~/Public folder to network file managers and supports password and network restrictions. KDE Plasma and some other desktops lack an equivalent one-click sharing option. SFTP provides a secure file transfer mechanism that uses SSH as its underlying transport, leveraging the default SSH port for encrypted data transfer between systems.
