Actually, there nothing wrong with ftp-ing or scp-ing repositories
between machines. Set up a new project locally because it convenient
to do so there (using "fossil ui") then scp or ftp it to the
destination (after setting up the privileges like you want.) Works
fine.
Beware of sending repositories to other people, though. Remember that
each repository database also contains sensitive information such as
your passwords and email address, etc. If you want to email a project
repository to someone, it is best to first run:
fossil scrub WHATEVER.fossil
The "scrub" command will remove passwords from the database. Add the
--verily option to remove less sensitive things like email addresses.
