SFTP (SSH FTP) can be used for managing the server's files, or if you prefer command line, you can use nano.
Ubuntu is a type of Linux so it should run on most any "Linux cloud server".
Thanks for the Answer. Also i have heard a term "SCP" and "RSync" any idea about it
You have any suggestions for linux Based Cloud Server "File Management", Do let me know plz
SCP (secure copy) is a method for transferring files over SSH.

rsync. All the way.
rsync is not only a widely-used tool, but it's also fast even on slow connections due to the way it handles transfers. You'll find lots of information about rsync, but the best and most accurate information you can get is on the man page.
Your Information Will be useful. Here "Fast" word is exciting. Thanks
Well, once you get to understand rsync (it isn't that hard after all), you'll love it.
I use winSCP for my personal VPS'es.
csync
WinSCP is a good solution. Webmin also is good solution for beginners Linux users. Its advantage is that use it straight from the browser.
The only problem of winSCP is that you need wine to run it
Dolphin is much better with builtin sftp support
SFTP so you can use any 'file manager' you like. Quite simple with Ubuntu or any OS and usually enabled by default.
OP, what exactly are you trying to do?
rsync is great for syncing between servers...but if you want to interactively work with folders/directories, not so much. A desktop SFTP client (e.g., FileZilla) + SFTP is good for that.
Our crystal ball is cloudy...provide more detail.
The most secure file transfer would not involve you logging into the machine using any protocol.
Ubuntu cloud images, as well as Ubuntu images on AWS have cloud-init pre-installed. Using it you can load your files/clone your repository with a script, so you don't have to log on.
