• What's a really niche tool you use that you can't live without?

  I want to see tools most of us have never heard or even thought of. Extractors for obscure websites or websites we don't think of in terms of extractors like megatools or Mediafire Bulk Downloader. "Glue" tools like rclone's serve command (as well as the rest of rclone) and lftp that makes stuff work together easier. Phone apps like FE File Explorer Pro (sadly the free version seems to be gone) that makes... Source: 12 months ago

• Zsync – Rsync over HTTP

  Sounds a bit similar to lftp[1]. While I don't think it supports updates of compressed files, it doesn't rely on a meta-file and also supports a range of other protocols. You can essentially just point it at a website, directory index, ftp server, torrent etc. And it will let you browse the files, create mirros or update local files.

• ftp only images from a directory tree

  I think you could accomplish this using lftp's mirror command with the --only-newer and --include-glob options. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Sending files to an FTP server off a DSLR

  Yeah, you can drive the camera with a raspi and libgphoto2. You can sync the captured images via FTP using lftp. Source: about 3 years ago

• FileZilla now contains adware if you download from the official homepage

  I use lftp. The website design tells you exactly how the tool works. https://lftp.yar.ru/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?

  Seconding rsync and syncthing. The server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount. Rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs. This is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: How do you do personal backups in 2023? (Google and Dropbox issues)

  Rclone [1] to dropbox. Works since years without problems [1] https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  Rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. Rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder. Source: 5 months ago
