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.

    Thanks😅. I wasn’t aware, and until today thought that sftp is just like “the secure version of ftp” (never heard of ftps), and not different things at all. I have still a lot to learn in this field.

    Edit:I deleted the comentarios because i am unsure on what i am using right now and i don’t want to confuse people. I’ll check it when i have some free time

      Unless you went out of your way to set up FTP and get a TLS certificate I would put my money on you using SFTP which uses SSH for authentication and transport security. It doesn’t require anything to set up other than TOFU server keys and a client key or password for authentication.

      Which is probably the right thing to use. Really you shouldn’t be using FTP anymore. Probably you just want HTTP for public data and SFTP for private authenticated data.
