You have a SSH connection to a remote server, and you want to copy files back and forth but don’t know how? And you don’t want to fumble with scp?
No Problem!

There are quite a few file managers out there that allow you to work with remote file systems over SSH. My favourite is Midnight Commander, which is included in most Linux distributions out there. Just start it on your local machine (type mc in your terminal), select the menu “Left”, and click on “Shell link…”. Dialog will come up, enter your login details here, just as you would when using ssh (e.g. “user...@example.com”). You will be asked for your password, and voila – there you are!

Now you can browse the remote server on the left, and your local server on the right. Copying files back and forth should be no problem.

If you are looking for a better visual experience you might want to try muCommander.
