depends on how you gonna use it. First, I suggest updating to 12.3 since
12.1 is end of life, or upgrade to 13.0.

I use plain sshfs, so I do not need anything from ports ;-) I just use
sshd from the base system and fusefs-sshfs on my clients.

If you intend to use nfs, it is also in base - with 13.0 you can also
use TLS to encrypt data in transmission.

iscsi is also in base. However, if you want to share files with Windows
clients, you can use samba413 from ports/pkg.

If you want to share files via webdav, use apache24 from ports/pkg, for
ftp I can recommend vsftpd from ports/pkg (or proftpd).

For afp/filesharing with macos you can use netatalk3 from ports/pkg.
