An SSH file manager.
- Edit files like local:
- Automatically download and open files in any local editor (configurable).
- Automatically upload when changes are detected.
- Especially useful on slow and unstable links, where FUSE+SSHFS would cause too big of a slowdown on the local system.
- Edit files as root via sudo.
- Uses SSH auth agent when available, with fallback to password based authentication.
- Cross platform.
This demo illustrates the automatic upload feature:
macOS:
Windows:
Linux:
Command line usage: filesremote [[username@]host[:port]].
E.g. filesremote 192.168.1.60 or filesremote [email protected]:22. Defaults to your local username and port 22.
On first run the app will be blocked, because I do not have an Apple Developer account. Unblock it in this System Preferences pages:
After starting the app, go to File -> Preferences and set up the path of your text editor. For example for Sublime Text on MacOS this could be:
open -a "Sublime Text"
Optionally make aliases for easy command line usage:
alias filesremote="open -a FilesRemote --args $@"
alias filesremote_myserver="filesremote [email protected]"
