SFTP File Manager

Browse, upload, edit. No FTP client needed.

DataraSSH's built-in SFTP file manager gives you a two-pane split view — local on the left, remote on the right. Plus a full code editor that opens remote files directly. No download-edit-reupload cycle.

Everything a file manager should do

Two-Pane Split View

Local filesystem on the left, remote on the right. Resizable split divider. Both panes support full browsing, context menus, and keyboard navigation.

Upload & Download with Progress

Transfer files and folders with real-time progress reporting — bytes transferred, total size, and percentage complete. No black-box transfers.

Create, Rename & Delete

Create directories, rename files, and delete — on both local and remote filesystems. Every operation is one right-click away.

chmod & chown

Change permissions and ownership on remote files and directories. Apply recursively with filtering — files only, directories only, or both.

Right-Click Context Menu

Every file operation is in the context menu. No hunting for toolbar buttons — just right-click and act on any file or folder.

Large File Warning

Configurable file size limit (default 1 MB) for the inline editor. DataraSSH warns before opening a large file so you stay in control of what gets loaded.
Remote Code Editor

Open remote files directly in the editor

Click any remote file to open it in the built-in CodeMirror editor. Syntax highlighting for 20+ languages, multiple colour themes, and dirty-state tracking that warns you before navigating away from unsaved changes. Remote editing has never felt this native.

  • CodeMirror 6 editor with full syntax highlighting
  • 20+ languages: JS/TS, Python, Go, Rust, PHP, SQL, YAML, Shell, and more
  • 9 colour themes: One Dark, Dracula, Nord, GitHub Dark/Light, Monokai, and more
  • Optional Emacs-style keybindings
  • Dirty-state tracking — warns before you lose unsaved changes
  • Editor tabs sit alongside terminal and SFTP tabs

chmod & chown

Permissions management that doesn't make you guess

Right-click any remote file or directory to open a visual permission editor. Set owner, group, and others independently. Apply changes recursively to entire directory trees — with filters to target files only, directories only, or everything at once.

  • Visual permission editor — no octal codes to memorise
  • Recursive application with file/directory filtering
  • chown support — change user and group ownership in one step
  • Works on individual files or full directory trees
