After about 6 years of using Ubuntu I am switching for the first time to Mac OS given the remarkable specification of M1 chip.

One of the main use of my Laptop (that ran on Ubuntu) was to connect to a Server also running on Ubuntu.

I guess Mac book would surely allow SSH via terminal as this is a very basic command. What I am not sure if it allows mounting external devices like ubuntu as shown in image below,

In Ubuntu we had Connect To Server feature, which I am not sure but likely used the sftp protocol. This feature would mount the remote server onto my laptop allowing easy browsing and shifting of files.

Will this be possible on the new Mac book Air M1 chip? Ofcourse we could use sftp via terminal, but I look the GUI mounting feature of ubuntu. what will be the closest alternative of 'Connect to Server' feature of Ubuntu for MacOS?
