Edit file in Sftp connection
0 vote
if I set up an SFTP connection it would be useful if there was a feature like WinSCP has to edit files without the need to download them but by editing the file directly in the application

Hello,
We cannot avoid downloading the file, as this is the only way to edit it and then send back the edited version. I have installed WinSCP to test, and they also do the same.
If you open WinSCP, edit a file, keep it open, and take a look at the path C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Temp\scpXXXXX, where XXXXX is a random 5-digit number WinSCP seems to generate, you will see that the file you are editing is currently stored there.
More specific information can be found at the following link : https://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_edit.
The only thing we could do is not show the fact that we are downloading the file in the bottom section of our SFTP integration. Would this still be something you wish for us to do?

Hello
no I don't think it's as you say; if I try I see that the file is located in the linux server /data/.... the original location
the file name in my test is a text file with .list extension
