Right, that's the clickbait out of the way.
I've tried no less than 6 SFTP programs on windows to try and give access to a large directory structure of RAW files to a friend so he can grab and edit a bunch of files I'll never get around to editing, and it's been the most frustrating 60 minutes I've spent on a computer in the last decade.
I know how FTP works, I know how FTPS and SFTP work. My friend has a Mac and is using Fetch. Cerberus worked once for a while before they changed it so that the free version wouldn't work with SFTP any longer. I've tried Bitvise, zFTP, Filezilla and a couple of others. They all suck.
So... I have consigned FTP and SFTP to the annals of history, better forgotten than ever dragged up again.
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR HELP GETTING FTP OR SFTP WORKING. IT'S DEAD TO ME.
However, I'm really open to any windows freeware I could use to help share a bunch of files and directories with a Mac user through a browser. I'm thinking locally hosted dropbox type thing, but I would need to grant read only access to several directories on a few disks. Windows 10.
Suggestions please.. Honestly I haven't searched because I feel mentally drained after trying to make SFTP work for so long. (I think many of the issues are Fetch incompatibilities but that was the other end of the phone)
