## What is GlideFile?

GlideFile is a premium FTP, SFTP and FTPS client for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Whether you manage a single website or oversee dozens of servers, GlideFile gives you the speed, security and tools you need to work with remote files from any device. One account, one app, and your server connections follow you everywhere, protected by end-to-end encryption.

POWERFUL FILE MANAGEMENT

Browse remote directories with a clean, intuitive file browser. Upload, download, rename, move and delete files and folders: drag and drop on your Mac, tap and swipe on iPhone and iPad. Transfers run in the background, so you can keep working.

CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE

GlideFile supports the three most widely used file transfer protocols:

- FTP for straightforward, compatible connections
- FTPS (FTP over TLS/SSL) for encrypted transfers on standard FTP infrastructure
- SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) for secure, reliable connections over SSH

Sign in with a password or an SSH private key.

BUILT-IN SSH CONSOLE

Access your servers directly from within GlideFile using the integrated SSH console. Execute commands, manage services and troubleshoot issues without switching to a separate terminal app. Full command history lets you recall and reuse previous commands in seconds.

INTEGRATED CODE EDITOR

Edit remote files on the fly with the built-in code editor. Syntax highlighting covers a wide range of programming and configuration languages, so you can review and modify code, scripts and config files right on the server. No download, local edit and re-upload. Just open, edit and save.

NODE.JS PROCESS MANAGEMENT

GlideFile includes a dedicated Node.js process management panel. Start, stop, restart and monitor your processes directly from the app.

NEW: ON IPHONE AND IPAD

The same GlideFile, built for touch. Browse your servers with a touch-first file browser, open your downloads in the Files app or share them with any app, and let interrupted transfers resume right where they stopped. On iPad and foldable devices, a two-pane layout keeps your servers and your files side by side.

AVAILABLE IN 8 LANGUAGES

GlideFile is fully localized in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese.

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED SYNC

Keep your server connections synchronized across your Mac, iPhone and iPad with end-to-end encrypted sync. Your data is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves. A Recovery Key protects you if you ever forget your password.

YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED

No ads, no tracking. Your files go straight from your device to your server and never transit through GlideFile's servers.
