Uploads and downloads

How transfers run

Section titled “How transfers run”

File transfers run in their own SFTP session, separate from your terminal. A large download never blocks the shell you’re typing in, and terminal activity never stalls a transfer.

Uploading

Section titled “Uploading”

Pick files to upload into the current remote directory. Progress is shown per transfer.

Downloading

Section titled “Downloading”

Select remote files to download to your device. On iPhone and iPad, downloads land in the Files app; on Mac, choose a destination folder.

Other ways files move

Section titled “Other ways files move”
  • File preview — look at a file without downloading it at all.
  • Paste and drop — hand a file to a remote CLI: it uploads to /tmp and the path lands in your prompt.
  • ZMODEM — transfers triggered from the remote side with sz and rz, right in the terminal.
