Uberspace
Uberspace is a hosting platform targeted at people who want to look behind the scenes, do things we didn’t anticipate and generally prefer working with a text-based console.
In this article, we'll explain how to set up Dropshare with Uberspace. We assume you already have an account at Uberspace.
You have two different options to access your Uberspace account via SSH: Password or SSH key.
Password
When using a password (make sure you set a password in the dashboard), open the Dropshare connection preferences, select New Connection, and SCP over SSH. Set up the following preferences:
