SFTP File Manager

MyShell Terminal includes a full-featured SFTP file manager — no separate FTP tool needed.

Opening the File Manager

After connecting, open via:

• Click the folder icon in the toolbar
• Use the keyboard shortcut (see Shortcuts)

File Browsing

Directory Tree

Left panel shows the directory tree, right panel shows the file list:

• Click folders to expand/collapse
• Breadcrumb navigation shows current path
• Direct path input for quick navigation

File Operations

Action	Method
Upload	Drag files into the list, or click upload
Download	Right-click → Download

Rename	Right-click → Rename
Delete	Select and press Delete
Copy path	Right-click → Copy Path

Permission Management

Right-click → Permissions:

Inline Editing

Double-click a text file to open it in the built-in editor. Saving automatically uploads to the server.

Transfer Queue

All uploads/downloads enter a transfer queue:

• Real-time progress and speed
• Cancel ongoing transfers
• Resume support

Transfer Modes & Settings

Transfers are optimized automatically for the job at hand:

• Smart transfer: small files go directly; massive numbers of small files are auto-packed into a single archive and unpacked on arrival, boosting speed several times
• Resume support: interrupted large-file transfers continue from the breakpoint instead of starting over

Transfer Settings

Fine-tune transfer behavior in Settings → General:

Setting	Effect
Packing toggle	Turn automatic packing of small files on/off
Resume toggle	Turn breakpoint resume on/off
Temp file location	Where temporary transfer files are stored
Transfer log toggle	Keep a log of transfers

Batch Operations
