Cockpit: "here is no graphical file manager, and we don't plan to add one." https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/11011
CuberDuck: "FTP and SFTP do not support a copy operation."
Is there a way with GUI?
Is there a reason why successfully running software on a server is so much harder than running software on your phone? I don't think it needs to be this way. Someone needs to figure out server software for consumers. Just like PCs became more accessible, so should servers! Edit: Brainstorming here: specifically, I'd like a more accessible UI, automatic updates, sensible defaults on all apps, an easier way to get star…
Someone starts a "Brainstorming" and everyone else poo-poos on it. This is how:
1. ideas are killed
2. Entrepreneurs are forged

I'm searching for remote server file manager right now. I want to copy (and compare) large directories on same Linux server from my Macbook. Cannot find one so far.

Syncthing if you want continuous sync. Rclone if you want periodic rsync-style copies. Both have web UIs, although they're definitely aimed at the power user and not novices. If they're non-technical users you probably want to setup a nextcloud or similar system so they get a more dropbox-like experience. edit: reddit.com/r/selfhosted always has good threads on self-hosted web file managers too
Edit: Cloud Commander works, gives you two-pane webgui with a row of Fx buttons below. F5 copies files locally.

On your phone app store there's a strong and trusted source of identity coming from Apple or Google. They know who you are, what you're allowed to do, etc. and can delegate that authority to your apps.
On the server though... welcome to the wild west. How does your server know the person on the other end of a TCP connection is really you, or the person you shared a document to view, etc? You can put your trust in a third party authority like Google, Facebook, Auth0, Okta, etc. but that usually comes with a financial cost. You can roll your own auth or self-host an auth server, but then you're taking on a huge security burden and it's a big leap in complexity to manage something like Keycloak, an LDAP server, etc. It's just not an easy problem to solve with the tools the web gives us today.

This is exactly what we do :) check out our demo at https://cloudron.io . Another user commented there is no market for this, but this is not true since we exist and are doing well. Its a niche but this is expected since this is a developing market.
CapRover is excellent too but of all the various tooling I've tried over the years, Cloudron is hands-down the most polished option I've seen/used!

Or, if that's not a good option, what about a installing a TUI remotely that you can use in the console like midnight commander?
Just some ideas. YMMV.
I highly recommend it to anyone here, especially on something like a headless server where you don't want or can't have an X11 UI running.
