awesome! i still prefer fuse-ing my local file system to server over ssh rather than over google drive or dropbox's protocols (dunno if the latter is even possible), but the so-called "webscale," bomb-proof redundancy is lacking from any server that i (previously) had an account on.
are you going to build out some front-end stuffs for the (majority of) people who don't already use ssh or just refer them to existing clients? while using a standard protocol for a standard task is (or ought to be <_<) a no-brainer from a programmer's perspective, most people want something clickable, and the last time i had to get something over ssh on windows, i wound up with this ghastly-looking program called WinSCP.
- thu 13y agoIndeed I got much comparison with Dropbox but I won't provide the kind of clients you talk about. I would like instead to target developers, building on tools they know such as scp but also, I hope/for instance, rsync or git. Thanks for your comment!
- auvrw 13y agosounds like a plan, although for anything that's fundamentally about incremental saves (like git), you're going to be competing with tarsnap. i still don't have a dropbox account. i use rsync for the compression if there's a large file or slow connection, but usually i just just an sshfs fstab entry and mc for all the functionality i'd want out of a dropbox frontend.
