In the lecture, one rather convenient method was introduced, but you can do even better. You can set up a secure connection via WebDAV, and integrate your server files into your local file browser. If you follow the steps illustrated in the tutorials below, you will have your server space show up in your files as though it was a drive on your computer. This can save you a lot of time and hundreds of clicks.

BONUS Tip:

You can use your server space to create your own website. So if you’ve played with the thought of setting up your website, this is a convenient way to experiment. Normally, you have to acquire your own domain and server space, but here you can get right to it. Bear in mind that the website you set up there is gonna expire with your uni account. It can be a nice playground, though, for a real future website. Or maybe you want to learn some HTML/CSS or even PHP or Javascript.
