Files over SFTP

Browse a server's files, upload and download them, and organize folders from Android.

Warpeer opens a server's files over SFTP using the same saved host and credential as its terminal.

Open files

  • On the Hosts tab, tap the folder button and choose a host.
  • In a terminal, tap + in the session dock and choose SFTP Host.
  • Tap the SFTP floating key, which is on the default pad, to open the files of the current tab's host.

The browser opens in your home folder. Tap a folder to open it, and use the up arrow to return to the parent folder. The path is shown under the title.

Manage files

  • Upload opens the Android file picker and copies the chosen file into the current folder.
  • New folder creates a folder in the current folder.
  • Long-press an item to Download a file to a location you choose, Rename it or Delete it. Deleting asks for confirmation and removes the item from the server. A folder must be empty before it can be deleted.
  • Show hidden files at the end of the list reveals dot files such as .bashrc.
  • Refresh reloads the folder.

File previews and git status and diffs, available in Warpeer for iPhone, are not in the Android build yet.
