How do you manage your server files?

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.

ftp ans sftp are completely different things. ftp is a very old protocol and can be run encrypted as ftps. sftp runs over SSH and is pretty common to use.

Naming is truly one of the hardest problems in computer science.

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

what! thats so dumb xD. so ftps stands for file transfer protocol secure, and sftp stands for ssh file transfer protocol? we have reached recursive acronyms.
