FlowSFTP includes three built-in tools designed specifically to prevent those mistakes.

1. Folder Pairing & Synchronized Browsing

In the Site Manager (Ctrl+M), you can configure Folder Pairs that map a local directory (for example, ~/projects/api-server) to a remote directory (/var/www/api-server).

When Synchronized Browsing is enabled, navigating into config/ on your local pane automatically navigates into /var/www/api-server/config/ on the remote pane.

2. Recursive Remote SSH Grep

Need to find which configuration file or log contains a specific error string? Open the Remote Search (SSH Grep) modal to execute a server-side search across thousands of files in milliseconds without downloading them first.

3. Side-by-Side Diff & Checksum Verification

Before overwriting a remote file, right-click and choose Compare with Local to open the side-by-side diff viewer, or verify file integrity using remote SHA-256 and MD5 checksums.

Today we are excited to release FlowSFTP v0.9.0-beta.1 — a 100% free and open-source dual-pane SFTP, FTP, FTPS, and SSH terminal client for Windows and Linux.

Why We Built FlowSFTP

Working with remote servers shouldn't mean juggling three separate windows just to upload a build artifact, inspect a configuration diff, tail a systemd journal, and restart a service.

FlowSFTP v0.9.0-beta.1 unifies your entire remote server workflow in a single native application:

  • Dual-Pane Local & Remote Browser: Navigate local and remote filesystems side-by-side with full-window resizable splitters, WSL distro auto-detection, Git status badges, and a FileZilla-exact 3-tab transfer queue.
  • Integrated WebGL SSH Terminal: Powered by @xterm/xterm and @xterm/addon-webgl, the multi-session tabbed terminal lets you jump directly into any remote folder with one-click "Open in Terminal".
  • Built-In Code Editor (Vim Mode) & Live External Editor Sync: Edit files in-app with CodeMirror 6 (100+ languages and Vim keybindings), preview with Spacebar Quick Look, or open in VS Code, Cursor AI, or Sublime Text with automatic debounced upload on save (Ctrl+S).
  • 10+ Curated Themes & OS Keyring Vault: Personalize your workspace with Catppuccin (Mocha, Macchiato, Frappé, Latte), Tokyo Night, Dracula, Nord, One Dark, and GitHub Dark/Light themes, while protecting credentials with an AES Master Password Vault and native OS Keyring integration.

Built on Tauri v2 & Async Rust

Instead of bundling a heavy Chromium instance, FlowSFTP uses Tauri v2 and an async Rust backend (russh, russh-sftp, suppaftp, notify v8, tokio). That translates to a tiny installer footprint, instant startup, and up to 10 concurrent transfer workers.
