A clean SFTP client for developers and self-hosters.
Save hosts, reconnect where you left off, and edit remote files without the usual clutter.
Beaver SFTP is a focused SFTP client for developers, self-hosters, and anyone working directly with files on their own servers.
It is built for a simple daily workflow: open a saved host, land in the right local and remote folders, move files, and quickly edit remote files when needed.
Just SFTP that makes sense.
# Full App Store Description
Beaver SFTP is a clean and focused SFTP client for developers and self-hosters.
It is designed for people who regularly work with files on their own servers, VPS machines, hosting accounts, or web projects — without wanting a bloated file transfer suite.
Save a host once, define the matching local and remote paths, and Beaver SFTP brings you back to the right place the next time you connect.
# Beaver SFTP remembers what matters:
- your saved hosts
- the last local folder and remote folder
- optional default paths per host
- custom SSH/SFTP ports
- keep-alive for stable sessions
So when you reconnect, you can continue where you left off.
# Built-in Quick Edit
Remote file editing should not depend on fragile temporary files and external editor behavior.
Beaver SFTP includes a simple built-in editor for quick changes to remote files. Open a file, edit it, press save, and upload it back.
Perfect for small changes to:
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, JSON, Markdown, configuration files, plain text files
# Focused by design
- Beaver SFTP is intentionally not a “connect to everything” app.
- It supports SFTP over SSH.
- It does not try to become a cloud drive, sync engine, FTP legacy client, WebDAV browser, Git tool, or full IDE.
