For my personal use I will be using sftp.
But if I want to let others have write-access to my archive I don't
want to have to create an account for them.
I will be using https, but since I am playing around and learning arch
I haven't bothered to set it up yet.
If I use https. will arch ask me for a password, or will it work just
as it does with http?
