  Please, explain how to setup simple sever which allows upload and on-server file management with https ;-)

  I know letters "WebDAV", but I don't know any ftp-like client for it. And server is apache24, which is much more huge security target than simple ftpd.

  Even `sftp` is ugly.

  As soon as FreeBSD will include in *base* system DoH/DoT recursive server (as it includes unbound for simple DNS now). I don't understand why should I trust "centralized" DoH services.

  Do we want to import libnghttp2 to base for this?
