SFTP/FTPS File Explorer Addon #5159

Open Eviepayne opened 4 years ago

Eviepayne commented 4 years ago

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Current File Explorer is missing the past decade and a half of network based file systems support that *nix systems have been using for ages with fuse.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

File Explorer already has unsecured FTP support. PowerToys addon could extend this capability to SFTP(SSH) and FTPS (FTP w/TLS) to have easy remote file management over secure channels.

That would be the greatest feature of PT especially when it would work as drive letter...

Eviepayne commented 4 years ago

Just wanted to include an update as I found this open-source project that integrates SFTP into file explorer https://github.com/alamaison/swish It hasn't been worked on in a long time but should provide a strong basis for this feature.

pretty embarrassing that ftps isn't supported by windows file explore by default. Do they expect users just to use ftp with no security???
