Cloud accounts · FTP and SFTP servers

Can I use a Linux server or Raspberry Pi as an SFTP destination?

Short answer: Yes. Any server with SSH and SFTP enabled works, including most Linux systems and Raspberry Pi. Add it as SFTP with its address, port, username and password or key; a base path keeps files in one folder.

Yes. Any server running SSH with SFTP enabled works — most Linux systems, including Raspberry Pi OS, have it once SSH is turned on. Add it as an SFTP account with its address, port, username and a password or key.

Use a base path such as /home/you/mac-transfers to keep Storage Studio's files in one place, and make sure the disk on the server has room. If the server is on your home network, your Mac needs to be on that network (or its VPN) when transfers run.
