Browsing files
The SFTP section shows your Mac’s files on the left and remote servers on the right.
Opening servers
Section titled “Opening servers”- ⇧⌘T (File → New SFTP Session) and pick a host.
- ⇧⌘O from a terminal: that host’s files.
- ⌘K, a host’s name, Browse files on.
Open several and they appear as tabs. To see them all at once, choose Show all open sessions side by side: each server gets a column, with draggable dividers to size them. Or keep one focused, with the others as slim collapsible columns.
The free version browses up to 3 servers side by side; Termini Pro removes the limit.
Your Mac’s files
Section titled “Your Mac’s files”The local pane opens in Downloads, which Termini can always read. To use any other folder, click Choose local folder and pick it: macOS’s sandbox then grants Termini access to it, and Termini remembers. Hide the local pane with Show local files to give servers more room.
