suggestions for file sync?

[Phil Marsh]

Thanks Stephen!
In my ignorance I wasn't aware of this option. Come to think of it, I
played around with uploading/downloading files to my servers using a web
interface but that was years ago.  Could be interesting. Thanks and I'll
look into it!
I already have an Apache2 server running on this server.
Going to try out Nextcloud for now as it would also be used to sync between
my servers and laptop etc...
