User reviews
Does exactly what it says it does and is very easy and stright forward to set up. My only gripe is I wish it had a built in sftp plug-in with a GUI browser, would be nice to have all that functionality in a single app, and with the SSH already authenticated and connected it should be easy to implement.
good
It does what it's supposed to do.
Very useful, and many features you would come to expect.
Love this app but hard
