GUI SFTP client that will copy files and folders locally instead of downloading/uploading

  • 772

I'm looking for a GUI client (preferably Windows) that will recognize when you copy files remotely, and will default to running a local shell command (f.a : 

sfpt> !rsync -a /files/ /copyoffiles/

in SFTP)

Does something like this exist already?

shell sftp graphical-user-interface copy

    There're lots of web file managers, one of them may do the job. I recommend eXtplorer: nice, fast & handy :)

  2. AFAIK there's no such feature in SFTP itself. I believe you'd better learn how to manage files over SSH :) Repeated actions work well with cron, all the rest can be done manually or with the help of some simple bash scripts
