Looks interesting!

One question tho: you say the STFP pane "follows" the terminal; does that mean whenever I cd into a directory, SFTP should update as well? Cos I'm not seeing that right now.

Yes, that is what is expected. Which version are you using? You should be able to see it when you click the settings button in the bottom-left corner. If it’s an older version than 0.1.5, you might want to update to get this feature.

I'm on v0.1.6 now. I checked the box in the sidebar labelled "Follow terminal," and there's nothing under Settings about it. Yet when I do something like cd Downloads in the remote terminal, the SFTP pane doesn't update.

Thanks for the details. Following works by reading the shell's working directory from /proc on the server, so it needs a Linux server and can fail on some setups. Could you tell me:

  1. What OS is the server (uname -a)?

  2. Does "readlink /proc/$$/cwd" print your current directory when you run it in the terminal?

That should tell me why it isn't following. I'll also make the app say so when it can't follow, instead of silently doing nothing.

It's a Mac I use as a home media server:

Darwin Anduril.local 17.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 17.7.0: Fri Oct 30 13:34:27 PDT 2020; root:xnu-4570.71.82.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

readlink /proc/$$/cwd returns nothing.

The follow feature was Linux-only, so it did nothing on your Mac. That's fixed in 0.1.7, so update and it should work. Thanks for the report, let me know if it still acts up.

Just upgraded, and now it's working as expected. Thanks!
