SFTP Browser

For a connected host, LaraEnv can open an SFTP file browser in a modal. It's handy for quick remote tweaks without opening a full SSH session.

Browsing​

The browser shows the remote filesystem and your local filesystem side by side, so you can navigate both at once and move files between them.

Transferring and managing files​

From the browser you can:

  • Download and upload files, with progress shown for each transfer.
  • Create directories.
  • Rename and delete files and folders.

Editing remote files​

You can edit remote text files in two ways:

  • Inline — open the file in an editor inside the modal and save it back.
  • Edit externally — LaraEnv downloads the file to a temp path, watches it, and re-uploads it automatically when you save in your local editor. This lets you use your own editor for remote files.
