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.

Linux?

I just use sshfs to mount ssh shares and move files between them like any other folder.

Same with samba shares (windows).

You can do the same on Windows (mount ssh shares), there is an Fuse like project for Windows: WinFsp.

SSHFS also has a windows release.
