  • File and folder transfer (to/from);
  • Integrated file editor.

Alternatives

If you want to achieve similar results you can:

  • Use WinSCP (Windows only);
  • Use a file manager like Nautilus, Konqueror, PCManFM (Linux examples)
  • Configure an FTP server and accessing it through FileZilla;
  • Mount a remote partition locally with the SMB protocol;
  • Route X11 output to your local machine over SSH;

Security

  • Due to a lack of extensive tests and documentation, this software may engage in unwanted behavior, including corrupting data.
  • This software does not currently allow to verify SSH fingerprints. This implies that the server you intend to connect to could be different from the server you are actually connecting to.
  • This software does not currently allow authentication through SSH keys.

Hence, use is not recommended in environments where data security and integrity is important.
