i have a Debian server which i plan to use to compile something to then run on that server. the problem is that i have zero clue what i'm doing, and have no idea how to get files from my machine to the files on the other machine through an SSH connection, or if i'm even going about it the right way. can anyone give me some pointers?
how would i go about getting vsftp on my debian machine? i only plan to use it to compile something and execute that something once or twice, do i didn't bother looking into the intricacies of using a linux system.
you are a lifesaver, thank you so much
Some file browsers in Linux have native support for SFTP browsing, so that's also an alternative. I know Nautilus (file browser for GNOME and derivatives more often than not) supports it and I wouldn't be surprised if Thunar also does.
To connect via Nautilus (and most likely every other file browser with SFTP support), go to network locations and add "sftp://username@host:port".
If you don't mind the terminal, SCP is also very handy. For example, to get a file from your computer to your server via this, just type "scp filetotransfer.txt username@host:/some/remote/directory". If using non-standard port, use the -P flag to specify port right after writing scp.
