I have a virtual Linux computer installed on my Windows PC. Within the Linux computer, I have a working PHP website with several files, templates, etc. I am trying to move this off my own virtual Linux server and onto Digital Ocean, and feel like I'm missing something. Is there some way I can just copy all the folders and files from one system to the other? I am not able to find any kind of 'Windows Explorer'-y file/folder interface using Digital Ocean.
I tried this tutorial but got stuck at the 'put localFile' step:
Does that make sense to anyone? Any help much appreciated.
If you are looking for a "windows explorer" approximation you could simply use filezilla - Ive used it with digital ocean droplet. once you configure the connection - its pretty much a gui interface.
here is Digital Ocean tutorial on securely setting up filezilla
Here is the intro to the page and it sounds like it might apply for your situation:
Are you a recent cloud hosting convert and find yourself struggling to figure out how to best manage the files on your first virtual private server (VPS)? Do you find yourself intimidated by the command line? If so, you will be happy to learn that FileZilla provides a user-friendly graphical interface that can securely transfer files to-and-from, as well as move files around within, your VPS
Note: Im offering this as a "simplest option possible" answer, I personally dont use filezilla anymore , because it takes forever to transfer files. the other answers mentioned, e.g. rsync or zipping and transferring would be how I would do it nowadays - way faster!
