SFTP & file transfer ​

Every connection can open an SFTP browser for moving files between your machine and the remote host, backed by russh-sftp.

Open SFTP ​

From a connection, click SFTP to open the file browser in its own tab. You get a dual-pane view — local on one side, remote on the other.

The terminal and SFTP share a resizable split: drag the divider to size the two sides to whatever you're doing. (This split is why SFTP lives in its own tab — a cramped SFTP pane is a bad SFTP pane.)

  • Single-click a folder to open it — no double-click needed.
  • ⌘-click (Ctrl on Windows/Linux) to add or remove individual items from the selection.
  • Shift-click to select a range.
  • Go full-screen on the file browser when you want the whole window for it.

Transfer ​

Drag and drop between the local and remote panes to copy files in either direction. Progress is shown per transfer.

Open with a local app ​

Right-click a remote file and choose Open with to pull it down and open it in a local application — edit a config in your usual editor, view an image, and so on.
