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.
