How do you upload your files to your webserver?

[TO.oL]

SFTP with FileZilla is the best combination and the most secure one too.

I'm use rsync or  FileZilla

 

[JOReilly]

Transmit on Mac. Usually SFTP.

 

[rf-harris]

I use FileZilla

 

[ModyDev]

Is there a good alternative for FileZilla for Linux GUI which doesn't need unprotected file format (Putty *.ppk) ?

@ModyDev by "unprotected file format", are you talking about transport encryption? Because FileZilla supports SFTP over SSH.

No, I am talking about the private key file stored by FileZilla in unprotected format *.ppk

According to https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Howto#Other_platforms, FileZilla works fine with standard SSH agent. I tested it on Ubuntu with XFCE+GNOME-keyring and verified that I didn't need to do any key file format conversion. The PuTTY format is only necessary on Windows because FileZilla uses PuTTY library on Windows; but you mentioned you were looking for a program for Linux.

Use WinSCP - probably best FTP/SFTP client for Windows

 

[Powerfulbox]

Get WinSCP 4TW

Filezilla or WinSCP.

I use a Raspberry pi for local file storage and back it up to a remote server using good old rsync. Really powerful and easy.


On windows, WinSCP does the job nicely.  

 

[tmzVPS-Daniel]

Windows - WinSCP.

[kevinsimmons]

SFTP using FileZilla, like many people here.

 

[DedidamNET]

SCP is the way to go. On windows I use WinSCP but it is so much slower.

 

[Hostfolks]

sFTP with FilleZilla when needed.

 

[risharde]

SFTP most of the time for me here... some occasions, I use SCP if its server to server transfers...
FTP... no way... too insecure from what I've read

if i have a windows pc around I use winscp. If I am on a mac then i use filezilla

 

[WasNotWSS]

The usual combination of tarballing, compressing, and scp. It's worked perfectly for several decades (and no issues with port behavior and nasty NAT fixups), so- works for me!
