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.

NFS, SMB, and/or sshfs

NFS for my media shares between servers (Emby, MPD, etc)
SMB for accessing from workstations
sshfs when I need a quick, one-off file session (or if I'm accessing remotely)

Sshfs is also a good candidate if for whatever reason you want security / encryption

I mostly want to upload to a media server from my desktop, as that is where I download and manage the files before they go on the server

Use Filezilla and SFTP.
