Files

SFTP and SCP

Browse, transfer and edit remote files.

Open the file panel with Command+Shift+S (Control+Shift+S elsewhere).

Browsing and transfers

  • Multi-select, recursive upload and download.
  • A bounded transfer queue with resume, cancel and retry.
  • Rename, delete, permissions and bookmarks.

Safe replacement

Replacing a file stages a partial copy, verifies resumed prefixes and renames it into place atomically, only after a complete synced copy exists. If anything fails, the previous file stays intact.

The editor

A native editor opens UTF-8 files up to 1 MiB. It hashes the remote file before and after staging, so a file that changed on the server in the meantime is noticed, and it preserves permissions.

SCP fallback

Servers without SFTP can use the built-in SCP fallback.
