I'm looking for a way to remotely control the access to a specific folder on a raspberry pi running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

This access needs to be changed regularly, so it has to be easy to change. Working with a third-party software would also work, but I haven't found any network file sharing software yet that can restrict access to a folder on the Raspberry Pi. It's supposed to be user-friendly and accessible with graphical user interface.

    You tagged the question with ssh. What is wrong with logging in with SSH (from a remote location) and changing the directory permission with chmod and/or chown? Is that not what you are asking for? In essence a single command, ssh user@host chmod 700 /dir/path. Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 10:38

    What kind of network sharing are you thinking of? Samba? NFS? Something like rsync over ssh? sshfs? FTP? SFTP? WebDAV? Something else? Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 11:12
  • Simply using SSH would work, but it is not ideal in my case, as it's supposed to be user-friendly and accessible with graphical user interface. The kind of network sharing tool is subordinated. Commented Nov 7, 2023 at 12:15

    I think you should remove the ssh tag. This isn't about a problem with ssh, it's just about something you're doing while sshed in. The problem you're trying to solve could just as easily be a problem with a local machine where you are physically logged in. Analogy: if you want help with the find or grep command while sshed in, you also wouldn't add the ssh tag just because of your specific login method. Commented Nov 10, 2023 at 1:25
  • You said the access needs to be changed regularly - changed how? Is there a fixed set of possible access settings, or is it a simple on/off, or something more complex? What kind of access are we talking about - will the users be logging in locally, or accessing this through a SMB (=Windows) or NFS share? A very common way is to create a user group and grant that group access to the folder, and then add/remove users to the group as needed - if that works for you, then you'll need a graphical group membership management utility.
