Overview
Remote file management brings common SFTP-style tasks into the active mobile workflow: browse directories, inspect source and logs, preview supported files, upload from the device, and download remote output.
Because the browser opens in the current Host or terminal context, it is useful for moving artifacts around a task without typing long paths or switching to a separate desktop file-transfer tool.
When to use it
- Inspect files, logs, screenshots, reports, or patches produced by an agent before deciding the next instruction.
- Upload configuration samples, test fixtures, datasets, certificates, or documents needed by a remote task.
- Move a local image or design asset into the exact project directory where an agent or build can reference it.
- Download archives, compiled builds, generated documents, screenshots, or reports to iPhone or iPad for review and sharing.
- Check directory contents and timestamps when debugging a deployment, data pipeline, or file-generation workflow.
Review what an agent generated
Open the target directory and inspect a report, patch, screenshot, archive, or log before asking for another change. This is useful when the result is not readable from terminal output alone.
Provide files required by a task
Upload a fixture, configuration sample, dataset, certificate, document, or design asset from the device directly into the remote project path where the command or agent expects it.
Bring deliverables back to the device
Download a compiled build, generated PDF, export, screenshot, or compressed artifact to iPhone or iPad for local inspection, sharing, approval, or archival.
How it works
- Open the file manager for a connected Host.
- Navigate directories and preview a supported file.
- Upload, download, rename, or organize files as the task requires.
Practical guidance
Confirm the current Host and path before replacing a file. For source-code changes, prefer Git-aware workflows so edits remain reviewable.
