SFTP Server
-
@emad-r They are asking for SFTP which will definitely be easy. We already use WinSCP and have no issues. Just second guessing myself and looking for some input from others.
-
WinSCP seems good the times I have used it. Use a custom port though for more security

That is not how that works.
You can use an uncommon port simply to keep fewer bots from hitting your logs, but there is no security there.
-
@brandon220 I would restrict access to the server to only the two entities using the firewall.

What are you using for your SFTP server today?
-
@aaronstuder That is the plan once it is up and running.
-
@strongbad The existing one is hosted by a service company. It also gets used daily. This will be a new one.

ng Fedora Server with FileZilla but am open to other ideas. I haven't set up an FTP server in a while so I'm here for some guidance and advice.
Your setup should be fine, just avoid the Filezilla Client adds on installation.
-
@dbeato Not using FileZilla. I forgot they already know how to use WinSCP and I get no complaints from the users.
-
@brandon220 Nice, that's better
-
Keep it simple, just use straight Fedora for the server. That part is easy. And any client that they are already using.

Doesn't NextCloud support SFTP? Would that work for you?
No it uses WebDav protocol, but you can login to the linux machine that is hosting it via SSH
