Recently I purchased a hosting plan from a hosting provider, had to pay them a lot of money. The give alot of free disk space on their server. I can acess the remote server using nPanel but I have to login to the hosting provider first and then open a couple of links to get the nPanel and I can use the file manager provided by the hosting service to upload files. But that’s very inconvenient.
The other way to access the server folders is to use ssh and manipulate my data on the server. I can also use rsync on my local linux machine to push the data on the remote server or vice-versa.
There is another way using sshfs using this we can mount a remote directory on our local machine like this. For example I can mount my raspberry pi on a local folder like this
sshfs pi@192.168.18.10: pi_remote/
umount pi_remote/ // to unmount the directory
