Desktop: SFTP Manager 💻 Desktop
Same dual-pane file manager as mobile, with desktop-native niceties.
Desktop SFTP is on the roadmap, not yet shipped. See tabssh/desktop for current status.
📁 Same UX as Mobile
- Two-pane layout: local on the left, remote on the right.
- Multi-select with click + Ctrl/Shift modifiers.
- Recursive folder transfer with resume.
- Per-transfer progress with cancellation.
- chmod editor + in-app text editor inherit straight from the mobile UX.
Reference: Mobile SFTP Manager.
🖱️ Desktop-Native Touches
- Drag & drop — drag from the OS file manager into the remote pane to upload; drag from the remote pane to the OS desktop to download.
- Native file picker on "Open in editor" — opens with your
$EDITOR/ OS-default app instead of an in-app editor. - Open Terminal Here — right-click a remote folder, get an SSH session in that
cwd. - Copy path as
scp://,sftp://, oruser@host:/pathURL — paste into other tools.
🔁 Differences from mobile
- No SAF — direct filesystem access via the OS file picker.
- No 1 MiB editor cap — opens in your real editor of choice.
- Permissions UI matches your OS conventions (octal text input alongside the mobile-style checkbox grid).
