Managing network storage from terminal

Sorry for the question that is too general, but I would like to switch to using the terminal instead of GUI programs as much as possible and I cannot formulate my question more precisely. In the course of my work, I need to connect to multiple FTP directories and Samba shared drives and also for MTP (smartphone) drives at home. I want to join them in the same way so I can handle them as uniformly as possible. Currently, GIO Virtual Filesystem / GVFS seems to be the best solution because I can log in to the drives in a similar way (gio mount) and access them via a similar path (/run/user/1000/gvfs/...). The problem is that this solution seems to be optimized for GUI because e.g. I can't copy to MTP (smartphone) drives, only from the GUI, but the GUI also uses GVFS. Is there a proven way to connect to different (network) drives from a terminal as easily as from a GUI?
