Hosting files on the LAN to trusted folks at a LAN party -- FTP? (lemmy.sdf.org)

There is a periodic meeting of linux users in my area where everyone brings laptops and connects to a LAN. Just wondering if I want to share files with them, what are decent options? Is FTP still the best option or has anything more interesting emerged in the past couple decades? Guess I would not want to maintain a webpage so web servers are nixed. It’s mainly so ppl can fetch linux ISO images and perhaps upload what they have as well.

rejetto hfs.

Two possible issues w/that w.r.t my use case:

not in official Debian repos -- not a show stopper but definately points against it for installation and maintenance burdons across migrations
apparently read-only access for users. This is fine in simple cases where I would just be sharing with others, but a complete solution enables users to share with others on the same server by uploading. Otherwise everyone with a file to share must run rejetto hfs.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the suggestion. It could be handy in some situations.

I didn't understand the point number two. You can set up whatever access you want for the users. If the option you want does not exist - there is a plugin for it, I'm sure.
