SFTP transfers

On any SSH session you can open an SFTP panel to work with the remote filesystem — over the same authenticated connection you’re already using. There’s no separate login and no second set of credentials to enter.

Open the panel

With an SSH session open, open its SFTP panel. It connects instantly on top of your existing session and shows the remote filesystem alongside your terminal.

What you can do

• Browse the remote filesystem and change directories.
• Upload files from your machine to the remote host.
• Download files from the remote host to your machine.
• Make directories (mkdir).
• Rename files and directories.
• Delete files and directories.

Note

SFTP rides on the SSH connection you’re already authenticated on, so it inherits the same host and identity — nothing to re-enter.
