### 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.

### 1/5 — how to copy

*2020-09-30, version 1.5*

I don't know how to copy...
this app is not kind, and doubtful.

### 1/5 — FTP Client

*2019-10-03, version 1.4*

Leider nicht zu gebrauchen. Die wichtigste Funktion, ein File zu editieren funktioniert nicht!

Es gibt keinerlei Feedback, warum das speichern fehlschlägt und bevor neu editiert werden kann muss das Programm erst wieder gekillt werden.

Fazit für die Nutzung nicht zu gebrauchen!

### 1/5 — Can’t do anything besides add server

*2018-12-15*

Allows but to add server but that’s it

**Developer response:** hello, if you could provide exact date when you experience problem i'd find your crashlog to fix this issue

### 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

### 2/5 — This is not a scp game.

*2023-01-23*

☹️

### 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.

### 2/5 — Very limited

*2018-12-10, version 1.1*

The lack of SSH private key support, means the only option is for password login.  Hardened, secure, production servers don’t (or shouldn’t) support that login method, which means the app is very limited and of no use to anyone working with production systems.  If the developer could add private key/passphrase login, then could be a very useful app.  I would be happy for that.

### 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 — 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 😀

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Passt

*2020-01-09, version 1.5*

Macht was es soll ohne Schnickschnack - mittlerweile kann man Dateien auch editieren.

### 5/5 — Very nice little app!

*2019-03-28, version 1.2*

Super simple and clean UI
Works very well with my Raspberry Pi

The only thing I miss - can’t see hidden files and directories

### 5/5 — Thank you so much

*2019-01-01*

This is the only app I found on App Store which could connect to my router storage via SCP protocol. Wish there was an option where I could edit files. I would definitely be ready to pay for this app.

**Developer response:** editing in beta testing you can sign up for testflight

### 5/5 — It works!

*2018-10-13, version 1.1*

I needed the equivalent of Winscp for iOS and this seemed to be the only option, other than one requiring a large in-app purchase.   But this works for me.   So 5 stars.  And thanks to the developer.

### 5/5 — rename

*2018-10-05, version 1.1*

how to rename?
