What it is

sFTP Client transfers and manages files using FTP, FTPS, FTPIS, FTPES, and SFTP. The desktop client supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, and an extension is also listed. Transfers can be scheduled or automated, queued, and resumed over SFTP. File tools include directory comparison, drag and drop, remote editing, connection logs, and key-file login for SFTP and SSH. It includes tabbed SSH terminals, supports TMUX and Screen sessions, and can open a terminal automatically when an SFTP connection starts. Port forwarding can connect a server and local device, including automatic forwarding on connection. The desktop client supports cloud services including Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, and Microsoft OneDrive. Connections can sync between devices or be shared with a team or individual; the maker says encryption happens locally before data reaches its servers. FTP is available on the free Basic plan, while other protocols and features require higher plans. A fully featured free trial lasts two hours before purchase.
