This feature is very helpful. I'm appreciate if this could be implemented. Thanks!

Hello @XZB-1248 👋

Thank you a lot for your issue 🙏

I will check if this enhancement can be done inside WebSSH soon.

I have one question : what's the gain about zmodem against SFTP?

I have one question : what's the gain about zmodem against SFTP?

For example, when I’m in a deep folder and want to upload, it doesn’t cost any time but simply enter “rz”. But for SFTP, you need to wait until connection is established. And you need to open the folder one by one until reach the destination. It might be the best option when people just need simply upload a file.

lrzsz is not mean to replace SFTP, but to enhance SSH.

@XZB-1248 OK I'm convinced 😇

Previously I was searching for a solution to open a SFTP window at the right directory location but it's hard to implement.

I will try zmodem "protocol" instead.
