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.

Plex/Jellyfin is automatically managed by Sonarr/Radarr so I don't touch those.

But for game servers I use Pterodactyl which has a nice WebUI to manage the server and its files, and has automated backups.

pterodactyl looks really neat, will definitely look into that. I have a manual system for my media library, so I want to add the directories with artwork and movies manually to the directory which jellyfin reads.

https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser might be what you want for that, just a basic web based file management tool.

But you could also just use SMB and access the shares directly from file explorer.
