File Transfer

File transfer (SFTP)

Press f on a selected connection to open the file transfer view. Go-SSH establishes an SFTP session and shows a two-pane navigator.

Layout and navigation

  • Left pane: local filesystem. Right pane: remote filesystem.
  • The active pane border is green; press Tab to switch panes.
  • Press Enter to open a directory. Use the .. entry to move to the parent.
  • The pane titles show the current local/remote paths.

Operations

  • s: Sync the selected item (upload from local or download from remote).
  • d: Delete the selected item (local delete or recursive remote delete after confirmation).
  • n: New directory in the active pane.
  • q: Back to the main screen and close the SFTP session.

Connection behavior

  • SFTP uses password authentication with a 5-second connection timeout.
  • Host key verification is disabled in the current implementation (ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey).
