Built-in SCP

Hello,

I will assign this to our dev.

Regards

Merci beaucoup, mon ami ;)

If i may offer an additional suggestion for the sftp client: it now uses up a lot of screen-estate AND you have to open a separate connection to have ssh access to the same server on the same port. May i suggest a solution like the tabbed ssh client from https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ where you have an sftp client and ssh terminal session in one handy screen ;-)

The built-in xserver is optional ;-)

@Luc

Could you post a print screen?

Regards

It's nice indeed.

Hello,

I had a quick conversation with our engineering department today and the download/upload via drag-and-drop has been implemented in RDM in our native session type.

What type of session we're you using?

Could you post a screenshot of the properties of the session?

Best regards,

Hi,

i used an sftp session...

This currently has the following layout:

I think it would be nicer to implement this like moba and use one of these 4 windows (upper right) as the ssh session command prompt (both sftp and ssh use the same port 22). That way there would be no real need to integrate putty as a separate terminal ? The bottom left window is really not needed. You can see the files in the uppper left window tree view... You could use the bottom two windows for the sftp (one for the folders and one for the files). Would be neat.

Or you could ofcourse use a layout like moba: no local explorer, just the sftp view on the left and the terminal window on the right.... more than enough ;-)

Just a thought.

Kind regards.

Hello,

Just to let you know that a similar request is already opened on our ToDo list regarding this.

Thank you for your post.

Best regards,

Was this implemented? Integrated SFTP over SSH session would be really nice and handy.

Thank you.

Trying to move from MobaXterm and been trying to figure out how to do this in RDM.

One of the best features I use it for along with MultiExec.

Has this ever been integrated ?

Specifically the split window sftp/ssh

Hello,

This is implemented in the SSH Shell entry, you need to check "use SFTP connection for remote file transfer":

Regards,

Nice. But is it jailed to the user's home directory?

Thank you.

Hello,

It is only the user's home directory by default, but if you set the "starting location" field to "/" it should allow you to view the full list of folders on the remote machine.

Regards,

Hi, where is this option, starting location..? I don't see it.

Thank you,

Claudiu

It's located in the same window here:

If it's not there for you, you would need to update your RDM version.

Regards,

Ah sorry, that was it.. I wasn't on the last version.

Thank you again.

Claudiu

No problem! Glad this is now working for you.

Hi, nice feature with SFTP, for us, we don't use it on a daily basis, so it would be great to start a SSH connection with SFTP but in minimized mode.

So we can enroll the SFTP window with a short click on the minimized bar on the right side.

a new checkbox with "Start minimized" in the properties menu would be great (and i think easy to implement )

Thanks in advance

Reagards,

Thorsten

Hello Thorsten,

I understand the need for this, it would indeed make it easier to use. I've opened a ticket so we can add this option. Thanks for the suggestion!

As a note, you can currently click on the bar separating the terminal and the SFTP to hide it. A bit annoying to do every time you open an entry, but at least you won't need to edit the entry every time you need to use the SFTP.

Regards,

Hello,

The Start Minimized feature has been added and should be available as early as next version (it will be located directly under the Use SFTP checkbox.) Thanks for bringing this to us!

Regards,

Hi,

thanks again for adding this feature. in the last two versions, the minimized checkbox has no effect anymore.

Can you please fix this issue?! :)

Thanks in advance

Thorsten

Hello Thorsten,

This issue was reported by another user earlier this week, and it will be fixed in our next minor update, RDM 2022.1.22.0.

Regards,

is it normal that the source SFTP pannel only shows folder and zip files, I dod have other files in the designated folder with a different extension but they dont show up.

How can I tell it, show me everything regardless of extension?

Hello,

Seems to work properly on my side, could you confirm your Remote Desktop Manager version?

Best Regards,

Hi,

I am aware I am bumping an ancient thread, But I too am looking to step over from MobaXterm to RDM (Mainly because Moba is not available on Mac, but on windows I though about leaving it as well because of the may bugs and glitches in there. However some of the features just rock ;-). )

Am running version 2022.2.5.0 (free) on Mac and want to use this with ssh sessions. Is this in there (cannot find it and the screens posted above seem a bit outdated to me)? If not, could this be done. If only I could just right click and choose 'open scp window here'. Another very cool, related feature of Moba is that in that scp window on can just choose 'edit' and a local copy is created and monitored and as soon as locally you save, Mona transfers this to the remote file as well (of course only if the remote rights permit you to write)

Cheers

Hi ericmvandenhout,

Is this in there (cannot find it and the screens posted above seem a bit outdated to me)?

If you are referring to the screenshot from my colleague Hubert, those shows a feature that is only supported in RDM Windows. Also, it is, to my knowledge, only for SFTP, not SCP.

If only I could just right click and choose 'open scp window here'.

If you had an item to open an SCP or SFTP entry in the tab button menu, would that work for you? It would open it in a new tab, but you could split the dashboard if you wanted afterwards.

is that in that scp window on can just choose 'edit' and a local copy is created and monitored and as soon as locally you save, Mona transfers this to the remote file as well

This is already supported in FTP, SFTP and SCP entries (you can edit files and the changes are uploaded back to the server). If we implemented the precedent point, this would already work.

Best regards,

Hi Xavier,

The thing I find frustrating is that I have a heap of SSH sessions defined, but with SFTP off in all of them.

It's only very rarely that we need SFTP to get something to/from the server.

I'd love to be able to, from an existing entry (or open SSH session) be able to either right click, and go to something like 'Macros/Scripts/Tools > SFTP'. Or a button at the top of the open SSH session for SFTP.

Then it can just connect using the already defined session details and credential settings to open the SFTP window.

This seems like the most logical way it should work - currently I just ignore the SFTP functionality in RDM and fallback to WinSCP if I need to do a transfer file(s) task.

Hi,

This should be fairly easy to implement. I will open a ticket and we will post back when it is done.

Best regards,
