# nui-sftp

This project contains a cross platform (Linux & Windows) SSH and SFTP workbench.

![AppImage](https://s3.g.s4.mega.io/jgemkib4a5fte35rktt5wxrwkw4ejk4ybemkf/nui-scp/images/Screenshots/session.png)

## Website
[https://nui-sftp.nuicpp.org](https://nui-sftp.nuicpp.org)

# Installation

First go to the releases section https://github.com/5cript/nui-sftp/releases. This is where you can find the latest releases of the app. (Not every release might have packages attached to it; pick the latest one with packages.)

## Windows

Download the Windows installer/setup.exe and run it. Or download the Windows zip and extract the contents in a place of your choosing.

## GNU/Linux

### ArchLinux

nui-sftp is published on the AUR: [nui-sftp](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nui-sftp)
With your favorite AUR helper (yay as an example):
```
yay -S nui-sftp
```

Alternatively you can install directly from the PKGBUILD, which is primarily maintained in [this repository](https://github.com/5cript/nui-sftp-deploy):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/5cript/nui-sftp-deploy.git
cd nui-sftp-deploy
makepkg -si
```
to uninstall:
```bash
sudo pacman -R nui-sftp
```

### All Other Distributions

#### AppImage

An AppImage is provided for most distributions. It requires at least glibc 2.39 (the version shipped with Ubuntu 24.04). Download it from the releases section and run it directly:
```bash
chmod +x nui-sftp-*.AppImage
./nui-sftp-*.AppImage
```

#### Flatpak

A flatpak is published on [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/org.nuicpp.nui_sftp) as `org.nuicpp.nui_sftp`:
```bash
flatpak install flathub org.nuicpp.nui_sftp
flatpak run org.nuicpp.nui_sftp
```

Flatpak bundles are also attached to each release if you prefer to install one directly:
```bash
# Make sure to pass the correct file name!
flatpak install nui-sftp-flatpak-x86_64_0.1.1.flatpak
```

> **Note:** Local shells do not work inside the flatpak due to sandbox restrictions. If you need the local shell feature, use the AppImage or the AUR package instead.

## Apple Computers

macOS is currently not supported. Maybe in the future if there is demand.

## Other

There will not be support for any other systems (Mobile Devices or BSD).

# Feature List

## Synchronization
You can synchronize folders between your local machine and the server. This will automatically upload/download files that are changed in the source folder to the target folder. You can also choose to only synchronize in one direction (upload or download).

## Local Shell
Run a PTY on your local machine with a file view.
![LocalShellSession](https://s3.g.s4.mega.io/jgemkib4a5fte35rktt5wxrwkw4ejk4ybemkf/nui-scp/images/Screenshots/local.png)

## Settings
When a user might want to change the behavior of the app, I decided: Let's make it configurable.

## Theming & Customizability
Includes a bright theme and more theme colors. Can be fully customized by overwriting CSS (although that's more of a power user feature).

## Download & Upload directly as Archive
You can download and upload files and folders directly as tar archives, no manual packing required.

## SSH
- Keyboard interactive password auth.
- Key auth with optional passphrase.
- Automatic key auth via SSH directory.
- SSH agent support on Linux.
- Multi channel support (multiple ptys and sftp at the same time).

## SFTP
- Download & Upload, Single files and directories.
- Download & Upload to tar archives streamingly, no manual packing required.
- Folder Synchronization.
- Download & live-observe changes that automatically resync to the server.
- Delete file.
- Rename file.
- Create file.
- Create directory.
- Pause/Continue operations.
- Cancel operations.
- Reorder operations in the queue.
- Show file properties.
- Recursive folder delete.

## General UI
- Flexible Layout - organize widgets as you like
- Save and Load Layouts.
- Run multiple SSH or Local Shell Session in parallel.

## Settings UI
- If it's configurable, it's in the settings.

## File View UI
- Grid view.
- Table view.
- Box drag select for icon view.
- Auto refresh after operation complete.
- Resize left vs right.
- Upload drag and drop (within view and into the app (Linux caveat: only a single file, bug in webkitgtk)).
- Download drag and drop (within view).
- Searching files.
- Sorting files.
- Asks the user to overwrite files on upload/download.

# No intention to support for now:
- Windows SSH agent support, waiting for official libssh support, before I resort to patches: https://gitlab.com/libssh/libssh-mirror/-/issues/277
- GSSAPI auth: Will make work when a need arises
- KeypassXc database integration: lots of work for tiny use cases. It's a cool idea for later.

# Known Problems

- Cannot use mouse side keys for history navigation (yet) because of a bug in WebKit that shows them as "button 0".
- On WebKit Systems (Linux), the drag and drop from the desktop only supports single files and folders, not a list of items, because WebKit removed the functionality entirely because of an unfixed security issue.
