How do you manage your server files? (reddthat.com)

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.

Okay this has made it so much worse. i figured that the s in https and ftps stands for secure like a reasonable person. of course it doesnt xD. you would think that this is at least consistent but alas. guess what s in ssh doesnt stand for :)

[–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know if the s is actually "SSL" or "secure" but the point is that the are the same protocol, running over an encryption layer. So adding an s suffix is running the same protocol over some encrypted transport. You see this s suffix for lots of things like irc/ircs and dav/davs.

This is different to sftp which isn't related to ftp at all other than they are both protocols that transfer files.
