SFTP Guide
Telnety includes a full-featured SFTP file browser built on russh-sftp. Browse remote file systems, transfer files, and edit remote files without leaving the app.
Dual-Pane Browser
The SFTP view features a dual-pane layout with your local file system on the left and the remote file system on the right. Drag and drop files between panes to transfer them.
- Navigate: Click folders to browse, breadcrumbs for quick navigation
- Transfer: Drag files between panes or use the upload/download buttons
- Batch: Select multiple files with Ctrl/Shift+click for batch operations
- Edit: Double-click text files to open them in the integrated editor
File Operations
- Upload files and directories (recursive)
- Download files and directories
- Rename, delete, create directories
- Edit file permissions (chmod)
- View file metadata (size, modification time, owner)
Connection
SFTP runs over the same SSH connection as your terminal session. Open an SFTP pane alongside your terminal tab for a side-by-side workflow. Authentication is shared, so you do not need to re-enter credentials.
