SFTPGo is an open-source FTP server that lets you securely transfer files over the internet. In this tutorial, we will be guiding you through the process of installing SFTPGo on Clear Linux latest version.
Before installing SFTPGo, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
To install SFTPGo, we need to have some dependencies installed on the system. These dependencies are:
To install these dependencies, execute the following commands in the terminal.
sudo swupd bundle-add sqlite
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libsqlite3
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-pam
Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies for SFTPGo, we can proceed with the installation of SFTPGo on Clear Linux. Follow the steps below to download and install SFTPGo on your system.
Download the source code from the official SFTPGo repository on GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo.git
Navigate to the SFTPGo directory.
cd sftpgo
Build the SFTPGo binary.
make build
Install the SFTPGo binary.
sudo make install
After the installation is complete, you need to configure SFTPGo to run on your system. You can use the default configuration file, which comes with SFTPGo, or create your own.
To use the default configuration file, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo cp example/sftpgo.toml /usr/local/etc/sftpgo/
Now that SFTPGo has been installed and configured, we can start the SFTPGo server. To do this, execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo sftpgo -config /usr/local/etc/sftpgo/sftpgo.toml
That’s it! You have successfully installed and configured SFTPGo on Clear Linux latest version. Now you can transfer files securely over the internet with SFTPGo!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
