Ass (Another SSH/SFTP Server) is a lightweight, efficient and secure SSH/SFTP server for Unix-like systems, including Linux and macOS. Here's a tutorial on how to install ass which is from https://github.com/tycrek/ass on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before starting, ensure that you have the following requirements in your system:
To start the installation process, we first need to install some dependencies required by ass. Use the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git make gcc
Next, we will clone the ass repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/tycrek/ass.git
Now, we will move to the cloned ass directory using the following command:
cd ass
To compile and install the ass server, we need to run the make command as follows:
sudo make install
After installing the ass server, we need to create a configuration file for it. We can create a new configuration file by copying the sample configuration file. Use the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo cp ass.conf.sample /etc/ass.conf
Now, edit the configuration file as per your requirement using any text editor. For example:
sudo nano /etc/ass.conf
Finally, we can start the ass server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start ass
Also, ensure that the ass service is enabled at boot time using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable ass
That's it! we have successfully installed and configured the ass server on the EndeavourOS Latest. Now, you can use any SSH/SFTP client to connect to the ass server and transfer files securely.
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!
