I've got a remote seedbox and a local Unraid machine that I often transfer files between, and for years I used a Ubuntu Server VM + LFTP to accomplish it.  That worked great, but since I've moved all the VM's other functions to dockers and plugins within Unraid, I'm wanting to retire the VM altogether and get some precious CPU resources back.  This leaves me with having to find a new SFTP solution.

 

So far I've tried two things:

 

1. LFTP through Unraid's terminal.  Works, but config doesn't survive reboot.

2. Filezilla docker container. It's extremely clunky and doesn't scale well to high-dpi screens.  No idea how people use this regularly

 

So that leaves me with...well, I'm not sure what that leaves me with.  Any solutions I'm missing?

I too would love to hear if anyone has a better solution than Filezilla.

I know this was a long time ago, but did you ever come up with a solution?

 

I have been looking for a way to move the LFTP through Unraid's terminal into a docker container that can run a script from a directory on cron. 

 

Some ideas I have seen was running alpine Linux in a docker container, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it to run.

@troubledraider I eventually went with a Debian LXC container with LFTP installed.  It felt like a great middle-ground between resource usage and isolation from the Unraid host. Been super happy with it!
