Open, edit, download, and upload files from your phone.

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.

Step 1: Open the file tools from chat

Use the file actions inside the current chat to open a remote path or start an upload.

Browsing can stay visible, but opening or uploading a file is a Premium action.

Step 2: Open and edit a remote text file

Good first files:

/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.

Step 3: Upload a file from your device

Pick a local file on the phone. sshChat uploads it to the remote server path you choose.

Good uses: 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.

Step 4: Use files for small fixes, not full editing sessions

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.
