File Explorer (SFTP)
When you connect to a server via SSH, a file explorer shows up in the sidebar. It lets you browse the remote filesystem, move files around, and edit them without leaving Reach.
Navigating
Section titled “Navigating”The explorer has breadcrumb navigation at the top. Click any path segment to jump directly to that directory. It works the way you’d expect from any file manager.
File Operations
Section titled “File Operations”You can upload, download, delete, rename, and create new files and folders. Right-click to get a context menu with the relevant options depending on what you clicked:
On a file: Download, Edit, Delete, Rename.
On a folder: New File, New Folder, Delete, Rename.
On empty space: New File, New Folder, Refresh.
Inline Editing
Section titled “Inline Editing”Right-click a file and pick “Edit” to open it in a code editor overlay. The editor has syntax highlighting for 30+ languages, detected automatically by file extension. Make your changes and press Ctrl+S to save back to the server. Or close the editor to discard.
There’s a 5 MB size limit for inline editing. For anything bigger, download it, edit locally, and re-upload.
Drag and Drop Upload
Section titled “Drag and Drop Upload”Drag files from your desktop onto the file explorer panel to upload them to the current directory. Nothing fancy to configure.
Transfer Queue
Section titled “Transfer Queue”When you upload or download files, a transfer queue shows progress bars for each active transfer. You can cancel any transfer that’s in progress.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”Under the hood, all file operations run over the existing SSH connection using shell commands (ls, mv, rm, mkdir, etc.). File transfers use SCP-style streaming. There’s no separate SFTP subsystem connection needed.
