Ok, thanks for the clarification, the remote computer is in fact local.


That said, as you are using openSUSE, and if you actually do want FTP, 
the easiest route is using the tool YaST to install and configure an FTP 
server, which is vsftpd. And you have a well written book chapter to 
help you along:

<https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book-reference/cha-ftp.html>


Otherwise, it is far easier to use ssh type tools. You don't have to 
install nor setup anything, they are already installed (as long as you 
replied "YES" to the question during system install to install and run 
sshd⁽¹⁾).

scp (1)              - OpenSSH secure file copy

As simple as doing:

scp username@from_host:file.txt /local/directory/

You have more examples on 
<https://linuxblog.io/linux-securely-copy-files-using-scp/>, for instance.


Or you can use:

      sftp — OpenSSH secure file transfer


Which is a client tool similar in use to ftp. Again, you don't need to 
configure the server (the "remote" machine in your parlance). There are 
GUI file browsers that can present you with sftp transparently. Or a TUI 
like 'mc'.


Finally, there is "sshfs". Again, no configuration on the server, at 
all. In the client, you run:

   sshfs   NAME@192.168.1.14:/ ~/fusermount/

Where the directory "fusermount" or anyother name you choose must exist 
and should be empty. The root filesystem (or any other) of the server 
machine appears insude ~/fusermount/

When finished, you run:

    fusermount -u ~/fusermount

to severe the connection when finished. The advantage of this tool is 
that you can point any tool to ~/fusermount in order to use files as if 
they are local. Any tool, like LibreOffice, for instance.


All these tools from the ssh family have the advantage of not needing 
any configuration, aside from answering YES during the initial system 
installation. It is a single tcp port, the 22. And the connection is 
encrypted, it is Internet safe.
