Very nice indeed. I am too much of a terminal person to use it myself, but I would rather have this than install cockpit on a server (which I then tend to forget about).

For initial setup and all those one-offs that tend to come with development work, it seems nice, and the pricing is sane (no stupid subscriptions).

Bro, the download link is sending the download file as "content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8", hence, instead of triggering download, the browser is just trying to render it on the page.. Nice and useful app btw.

Ah, the content type has been fixed now. Thank you for the report.

This looks really cool! Which programming language is your app built with? And how do you update the application on the client side?

I’m asking because I have an open-source API server project that I’m working on, and I’m interested in learning more about how you’re doing things.

This is built using Swift and SwiftUI. Updates are handled using Sparkle, which seems to be the standard for apps distributed outside the Mac app store.

Bro, this is such a useful app. Also, works sooo well.

Here's a small set of feature requests if you can add :)

1. For files browser, allow sorting, downloading, and uploading too please (file and folders, nested too). This will allow help to replace ftp workflow with this itself.

2. Trigger file "display" only for text-based, or image files.

Thanks..
