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.
No, I only have new files on my local machine, and as I collect new stuff I move them to my server with rsync and just remove it onthe local machine.
Rsync is more than smart enough to, if you keep same folder structure to easilly move the files to the server without you having to manually copy other each file.
sounds good, do you have any docs on how to do that?
Don’t really have some rn. Will make a page on my wiki and link it to you later with some basic examples.
Here is the link to the wiki page I created: rsync
The most important part for you is the last one, but I would recomend to read it whole to understand how rsync works a bit.
Great! Thanks a lot, this will help
