#SFTP File Management

Conveniently and quickly manage files on the server side.

#Top Quick Menu Area

#History Access Records

• Displays all historical path records for the current server.

💡Tip: When the server connection is closed, the corresponding access history records will be cleared.

#Quick Path Navigation

• Displays the full path of the current working directory.
• Enter another full path and press Enter. SFTP will automatically navigate to that directory level by level. When a sub-level does not exist, it stops.

💡Tip: With this feature, you can quickly navigate to a specific path by pasting the full path.

#Refresh

• Refresh the currently selected file/directory list.

💡Tip: Opened directory/file lists are cached. You can manually refresh to get the latest file/directory list.

#Open (System Default)

• If a directory is selected, the system will retrieve and expand all subdirectories and files under it, similar to a single click.
• If a file is selected on desktop, the software will download the file and open it using the system's registered application for that file type.
• If a file is selected on mobile, the software will download the file and display its contents using the built-in text viewer.

💡Tip: The application used to open a file depends on your system's registered file associations, which may vary by user. Mobile devices have limited performance and memory, so avoid opening large files on mobile. You can edit the file directly in the application used to open it. After saving, the system will automatically upload the updated file to the server.

#Open (Custom)

• If no application has been set for opening files, you will be guided to select one first. Recommended: Sublime Text.
• The software will download the file and open it using the configured application.

💡Tip: You can edit the file directly in the application used to open it. After saving, the system will automatically upload the updated file to the server.
