Can I edit remote files directly over SFTP in SSH Desktop?

Yes! SSH Desktop features a built-in code editor with syntax highlighting. When you open any remote file, make changes, and hit Save (Ctrl+S / Cmd+S), the file is automatically written back to the remote server over SFTP in milliseconds.

Does SSH Desktop SFTP support resuming interrupted file transfers?

Yes. Our parallel streaming chunk engine supports automatic transfer resumption for large ISOs, database backups, and multi-gigabyte archives if your internet connection disconnects.
