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.

    sftp://USERNAME@SERVER:PORT in the address bar of most file managers will work. You can omit the port if it’s the default (22), you can omit the username if it’s the same as your local user.

    You can also add the server as a favorite/shortcut in your file manager sidebar (it works at least in Thunar and Nautilus). Or you can edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks directly:

    file:///some/local/directory
file:///some/other/directory
sftp://my.example.org/home/myuser my.example.org
sftp://otheruser@my.example.net:2222/home/otheruser my.example.net
