Why no drag and drop copying from remote to local?
I'm coming from WinSCP where I'm used to being able to drag and drop from local to remote or remote to local with relative ease. At first I tried to setup a SFTP connection in RDM but could only right-click a file and choose download from the remote side and was not able to upload files from local to remote. I then created an SCP connection and I can drag from local to remote just fine, but the only way to copy a file from remote to local is to right-click the file and choose download then go through the prompt to select the location to download. So why no drag and drop from remote to local in SCP connections and no drag and drop period in SFTP connections?

Hello,
Could I have your RDM Version number ?
Secondly have you considered using the WinSCP entry in RDM ?
Let me know !

RDM 2022.3.35.0 64-bit
I had not considered using the WinSCP entry because I assumed that it meant I would have to keep WinSCP installed and that starting the entry would open an external application rather than run natively within RDM. Is this not the case?
Hello,
Indeed you will need to have WinSCP installed. By the way I have notified the dev team about the drag and drop.

Yes, please do. That way I don't have to pester anyone for status updates. Having a working drag/drop both ways without having third party software installed would be nice.
