# SFTP

> Transfer files to and from your servers using SFTP.

Termique includes an SFTP file manager built into every SSH connection. You can browse the remote filesystem, upload, download, and delete files without a separate tool.

## Open SFTP

With a host connected, click the **SFTP** tab in the session panel. Termique opens an SFTP connection to the same host using the same credential.

## Navigate

The file manager shows the remote filesystem starting from your home directory. Click a directory to open it. Use the breadcrumb at the top to go back.

## Upload files

Click **Upload** or drag files from your desktop into the file manager. Files are transferred to the current remote directory.

## Download files

Right-click a file and select **Download**. The file is saved to your local downloads directory.

## Create a directory

Click **New folder**, enter a name, and press Enter.

## Delete

Right-click a file or directory and select **Delete**. Directory deletion is recursive. All contents are removed.

<Warning>
  SFTP delete is permanent. There is no trash or undo.
</Warning>

## Permissions

File permissions and ownership are shown in the file list. You cannot change permissions from the Termique SFTP panel. Use the terminal for `chmod` and `chown`.
