Files
Connect to remote file servers and browse, upload, download, and edit — without leaving Probe.
Four protocols, one browser
Connect over the protocol your server speaks. The browser, transfers, and file operations work the same across all of them.
SFTP
SSH file transfer with host-key verification (trust on first use).
FTP / FTPS
Plain FTP and explicit/implicit FTPS over TLS.
S3
Amazon S3 and S3-compatible stores — MinIO, Cloudflare R2, custom endpoints.
WebDAV
WebDAV servers including Nextcloud and ownCloud.
Browse in a familiar file view
Each connection opens as a tab. The file table shows Name, Size, Modified, Kind, and Unix permissions (drwxr-xr-x). Switch between a flat list and a tree, sort any column, and walk the path with the breadcrumb bar.
Transfer queue
Uploads and downloads run through a docked queue with per-file progress, transfer speed, and pause, resume, and cancel. Completed transfers clear on demand.
Edit remote files in place
Open a remote file in your default editor. Probe downloads a working copy, watches it, and uploads your changes back every time you save — no manual re-upload.
File operations
Rename, delete, create folders, and download from the toolbar or right-click menu. Change Unix permissions with a read/write/execute grid that writes the octal mode for you.
Bookmarks that keep secrets safe
Save a connection as a bookmark and reconnect in one click. Passwords and S3 secret keys go to the macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager — never to a plaintext file or the bookmark itself.
Reach it from AI tools
The Files engine is exposed over the internal REST API and the probe-mcp server, so an AI agent can list directories, move files, and drive transfers alongside the rest of Probe.
On macOS and Windows
Credentials use the native store on each platform — the Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows.
