Just came across this gem and instantly bought a license.

Also, not sure if you heard of it but @xpipe_io is the best way to work with a server in my opinion:
- Has folder management
- One click connect to ssh
- You can edit files on the server using cursor / vscode
- Drag and drop to upload files

I just found @xpipe_io today, it is simply AMAZING.
For Docker it's just MINDBLOWING. SSH made easy. Any OS, Windows, macOS or Linux.

XPipe is at home on every system. You have access to the same feature set everywhere without compromises. Native installers, portable archives, and packages for all operating systems are available.
XPipe Webtop is a web-based desktop environment that can be run in a docker container and accessed from your browser. The desktop environment comes with XPipe and various tools preinstalled and configured.
XPipe fully integrates with your toolbox of favourite applications like terminals, editors, git clients, and more. You can keep using them in conjunction with XPipe and don't have to adjust to anything new.
All data is stored exclusively on your local system in a cryptographically secure vault. You can also choose to increase security by using a custom passphrase for further encryption.
You are already using a password manager? XPipe is able to retrieve secrets automatically from your password manager via its command-line interface and doesn't have to store secrets itself.
There are no outside servers or services involved, all your information stays on your systems. Features like shared vaults are fully selfhosted.
You can host your own remote git repository to synchronize and share vault data across systems and users. XPipe supports advanced git authentication with HTTPS, SSH, keys, smartcards, and more.
XPipe integrates with your existing git client installation out of the box. Your existing git configuration is used, so you don't have to configure anything to sync vault via git.
Changes can be pushed and pulled from your own remote git repository by multiple team members across many systems. XPipe comes with tools you need for conflict resolution in case of merge conflicts.
The core of the XPipe application and many other components are open-source and available on GitHub, providing transparency of the implementation.
There is only one continuous build that receives constant updates. Updates are included in all versions for everyone, so you will always receive new features, bug fixes, and security patches.
Take a look at the official documentation to learn about all the details you're looking for. Includes introductions, guides, and reference pages for all features.
