I’m currently debating on how to manage files on my servers. I have a jellyfin and a minecraft server on which I need to add, remove or download files quite often. I don’t really want to use scp for everything, so I was wondering what everyone uses.

Edit: I’m looking for a gui solution, but a somewhat automated process of backups etc. is also nice

Edit 2: For anyone wondering what my final solution was: I am currently using a wireguard vpn on a raspberry pi to access my servers. I use Xpipe as a gui interface to transfer my files. I also just use tmux and ssh to execute commands and run services.

    I’m using debian, so sftp would be an option, do you use a graphical client?

      Right now I am just using nautilus (default GNOME file manager) but in past I was using Thunar (default XFCE file manager). I’d be pretty surprised if whatever file manager you are currently using doesn’t support SFTP out of the box. Typically you can just enter something like sftp://myhost.example into the location bar. They may also have a dedicated network connection section with a wizard to add it.

        I’m considering this, as I can see by your example, you can add a domain name to the server. How would you go over doing this?

      nemo for a gui, or midnightcommander after logging in via ssh for managing/moving files on the server.
