I'm looking for a secure transmission protocol that can be accessed through the web browser. The user should be able only to access/modify only some folder, not the whole filesystem.
For example I'd like to access to my server visiting a link of this kind:
ftp://mysite.com
Unfortunately ftp is not secure at all and sounds a bit anachronistic in 2017.
SFTP has three problem:
- I cannot access through browser from a Mac PC (I need a software like filezilla).
- With the same credential I can access through SSH to the terminal.
- I cannot restrict the accessible directory.
Do you have any suggestion to achieve what I want? I've raspbian on a raspberry pi 3 and the service that I want to create for the moment is restricted to a limited number of people, so I cannot effort to purchase certificates, external server or proprietary solution.
I know that exist also FTPS and FTP over SSH but I really don't know if these are the best and easiest solution
