Inspect remote project files, upload local assets, preview common formats, and bring generated outputs back to your device.

Overview

File upload and browsing let you inspect remote directories, upload local files, and download generated outputs on mobile.

  • Open the file browser from the terminal context to inspect source files, logs, and images.
  • Pick local files and upload them into a remote directory for prompt attachments, configuration, or test data.
  • Download remote files to your device for review, sharing, or archiving.

Edit and delete

  • Open a file preview and tap the three-dot More button at the top right for Download, Edit, and Delete.
  • Choose Edit, make your changes, then tap Save to update the remote file. Leaving with unsaved changes asks for confirmation; a failed save keeps your draft.
  • Editing supports regular UTF-8 text files up to 1 MB with known, ordinary permissions. Unsupported previews have Edit disabled; symlinks, other encodings, and special permissions are not supported.
  • Before saving, Redock checks whether the remote file has changed and uses a temporary copy for safe replacement. If a conflict is detected or the server does not support safe replacement, the original is not overwritten.
  • Choose Delete from the preview’s More menu, or long-press an item in the file list and choose Delete. Confirm before removing the remote item. Deletion cannot be undone; only files, links themselves, and empty folders can be deleted.

Saving replaces the remote file and may change its ownership, ACLs, or hard-link relationships. Use the terminal for files whose attributes must be preserved.

Best used for

  • Checking files or logs generated by an agent.
  • Uploading images, configs, or data files into a remote project.
  • Downloading remote build outputs to inspect on your phone.
