You might want to back up specific data on your server yourself, upload files, or move files from one server to another. For this, you can use SFTP, FTPS, and rsync to download/upload files, regardless of whether this is a VPS or an OpenStack instance.
In this article, we provide an overview of relevant documentation for various Linux systems (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and CentOS Stream), Windows Server, and web control panels (DirectAdmin, Plesk and cPanel).
How can I download or upload data to/from my server?
There are several tools to move data from one server to another, or, for example, from a server to your own computer at home. The most convenient method depends primarily on your own preference and the operating system of the server you're downloading data from, and the server or computer you're downloading the data to.
