This is the practical file workflow in sshChat: browse the remote folder, open a text file, save it back, download a file locally, or upload a replacement from the device when you need a quick fix.
Inside the current chat in sshChat.
Use the file actions to open a remote path or start an upload.
Browsing can stay visible, but opening or uploading a file is a Premium action.
You choose the file in sshChat. The actual read and save happen on the remote server.
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf /srv/app/.env docker-compose.yml
sshChat opens the text content, lets you edit it on the phone, and then saves it back to the same path.
You pick a local file on the phone. sshChat uploads it to the remote server path you choose.
Small config files, text snippets, replacement assets, or a quick patch file when you are away from your laptop.
Pick the destination path carefully before upload so you do not overwrite the wrong file on the server.
Use file access for targeted fixes: one config value, one env line, one small upload.
sshChat is not trying to replace a full desktop IDE. It is for finishing a small remote task from your phone.
If you want to keep evidence or send someone the output later, use the chat copy and export tools next.
