Filite is a file transfer utility designed for the terminal. It uses the FTP and SFTP protocols to transfer files between machines. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Filite in Debian Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install dependencies that Filite needs to function correctly. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install libssh2-1 libssh2-1-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev
This command will download and install the necessary packages.
Next, download Filite from GitHub. Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/raftario/filite.git
This command will clone the Filite repository to your local machine.
Before we can install Filite, we need to compile it. Navigate to the Filite directory using the following command:
cd filite
Once you are in the directory, run the following command to compile Filite:
make
This command will compile Filite and create the executable.
Next, we need to install Filite. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo make install
This command will install Filite on your system.
To verify that Filite has been installed correctly, run the following command in your terminal:
filite --version
This command will display the version of Filite installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Filite on Debian Latest. You can now use Filite to transfer files between machines using the FTP and SFTP protocols.
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!
