Open Files
Rosie SSH includes an SFTP file browser for servers that expose the SFTP subsystem.
You can open Files from a saved host or from the terminal session menu. Rosie SSH authenticates to the same server using the host’s configured password or key.
What you can do
The Files view supports:
- Listing folders.
- Opening folders.
- Previewing text files.
- Uploading text content.
- Creating folders.
- Renaming files and folders.
- Deleting files and folders.
- Returning to the parent folder.
- Refreshing the current folder.
Preview is intended for text files. Binary files may show as binary or unreadable text.
Separate SSH connection
SFTP uses its own SSH connection in the initial release. This keeps file browsing separate from the terminal, but it can also mean:
- You may see a second host key prompt.
- The server may perform a second authentication.
- SFTP can fail even when the terminal works, if the server disables the SFTP subsystem.
Upload a file
- Open Files.
- Tap the upload button.
- Enter a filename.
- Enter the text content.
- Tap Upload.
The file is written to the current remote folder.
Permissions and errors
If a folder cannot be listed or a file cannot be changed:
- Check the remote account’s permissions.
- Try the parent folder.
- Confirm the server allows SFTP.
- Avoid unusual symlink loops or paths the server cannot normalize.
Rosie SSH does not bypass server permissions.
