While i use SFTP a lot using sshfs, it is a terrible storage solution in general. If you don't know, SSH does its own flow control on top of TCP (that is, you have TCP flow control outside the SSH sleeve and SSH flow control inside it). The result is SFTP often bogs down and has dismal transfer rates. You can do much better using e.g. WebDAV and dav2fs, which lets you use https to authenticate and transfer.

- asark 7y agoftps not an option? Just too much less convenient (more set-up) than sftp, I'm guessing? I've not had great experience with WebDAV but maybe it's just the implementations I've used.
- stephenr 7y agoAre you aware of any iOS apps that offer similar functionality but for WebDAV? The ones I’ve seen either don’t support the Files Provider extension (ie integration with the Files app) or they have other weird behaviour that makes them less than ideal.
