You've got SFTP and rsync. There's no need for these kind of stuff if you're on Linux. Some DEs file manager are giving you the option to mount SFTP servers

- fbnlsr 6y agoAs someone who's using Linux but not that much at ease with this, it's nice sometimes to have a GUI.
- rocky1138 6y agoIn KDE you can access this sort of thing with the built-in GUI file manager right out of the box. You don't need a third-party app. 1. Open Dolphin (file manager) 2. Right click in the Places section on the left to add entry 3. Type `fish://<the-address>` 4. Click OK https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/plasma-dolphin-fish-ssh.html https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/plasma-dolphin-fish-ssh....
- chungy 6y agoAs someone that's spent multiple decades living on the command line for almost all my file management... sometimes I still open the GNOME file manager because a GUI makes a select few tasks simpler. It's all about the right tool for the job. Some people are more comfortable with a GUI for the majority of file management tasks, some people are more comfortable with the CLI for the majority of file management tasks. It's just a bit silly to be a zealot and put yourself through a lot of pain if one of these isn't optimal for whatever you're trying to do.
