recently, i have been spending more time in the terminal on my phone creating html and gemini documents. uploading them has been somewhat of a pain, what with hopping back and forth between apps to accomplish that. plus, there doesn't seem to be any decent free sftp apps for android.
i researched a bit and came across an incredibly useful and easy command to do what i needed. scp (secure copy) is a command to move files back and forth from local and remote machines using ssh.
basic use is thus:
scp [-i identity_file] [-r for recursive] [path to local file] [username@]host:[path to remote folder]
scp [-i identity_file] [-r for recursive] [username@]host:[path to remote file] [path to local folder]
This is not exhaustive by any means. Just the usage that I'm currently getting out of the command.
If you have OpenSSH installed then your good friend will be:
man scp
