### 2/5 — нормально открыть файл на просмотр не может

*2024-08-28, version 1.7*

открывает портянку, которую не закрыть никак
свой редактор не подключить

### 5/5 — Love this app! Very useful!

*2023-08-22, version 1.7*

I use this app to access all the devices on my homelab network from my phone! (I can also access them remotely as I have a VPN).

It is great to use as instead of having to set up FTP, I can just communicate over the same port as ssh and it makes everything so much easier.

10/10 app would recommend 😀

### 2/5 — This is not a scp game.

*2023-01-23*

☹️

### 3/5 — Работает только с файлами внутри сервера

*2022-10-23, version 1.7*

Совершенно непонятная история — нельзя загрузить файл с айпада на сервер, нельзя загрузить файл с сервера на айпад. Файл из сервера можно скопировать (например) только на тот же сервер. Зачем? Непонятно, я же могу в шелл войти и всё то же самое намного проще сделать.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2022-07-06, version 1.7*

After execute sh script, SCP client is hang. :(

### 4/5 — Работает, но…

*2022-02-11, version 1.6*

…но сортировка файлов только по алфавиту, а мне нужно было по дате создания.

### 5/5 — Must have for vps

*2021-11-14*

I found this app after using an iPad Linux shell which is great, but when opening config files with nano, I wars unaple to get a cursor or to paste, even with a mouse. With this app, I’m able to edit the config files and it works much easier than having to install an ftp server and download a ftp client. Must have app for vps like digital ocean or linode. No annoying ads or monthly subscriptions, merely a 99 cent fee to activate dark mode which I didn’t really need.
Thanks.

### 4/5 — A good App

*2021-05-14*

It is the only one of the files management app with SCP on AppStore. But the app has not updated for a long time. Hey! Don’t forgot to update your app.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t allow copying to iOS device or viewing images.

*2021-03-03*

Not really that useful. Yes, you can connect to a server and view the filenames and folder names, but there’s no way to transfer the file to your iOS device like your iPhone or iPad. It also won’t display JPEGs either (and I presume that’s true for other image formats), it just pops up a window saying “(null)(null)(null)...”

Very alpha software at this point. Essentially useless.

### 5/5 — Hands down, the only app on iOS that can do this...

*2021-01-31*

This is literally the only app that works with SCP. Yes, SCP and not SFTP. Works perfect for editing and transferring files remotely via Secure Copy Protocol.
