File transfer

Upload, download, rename, delete and create folders on the remote computer, and copy files from one remote to another.

On this page

On the website

Press Files in the session toolbar. The panel has two sides:

Remote computer
Browse with Up. Upload (“Upload a file here”), Paste file (paste a file you copied in another session), + Folder (new folder). Or drop files onto the list: “Drop files here to send them to this folder.”
Per file
Copy (paste on any machine), Download, Rename, Delete.
This computer
In Chrome and Edge, open a local folder to send files from it (Send to the remote folder) and save received files straight into it. Other browsers save to your Downloads folder.

Copy a file from one remote computer to another

  1. In session A, open Files and choose Copy (paste on any machine) on the file (“Copied … — paste on any machine”).
  2. In session B, open Files, go to the target folder and press Paste file (“Pasted …”).
  3. The file travels between the two computers; it does not need to be downloaded to your own computer first.

In the app

File transfer opens Files on … the remote computer, with New folder, Refresh, Up one folder and Send a file to this folder. Each file’s More menu has Download (saved to Downloads), Send to another computer (pick from your online computers in Send to which computer?), Rename and Delete (“This deletes it on …”).

Permissions

File transfer needs the File transfer permission in the session’s profile and isn’t blocked by USB control → No file transfer in Security Policy. Transfers run as the signed-in user on the remote computer and land in their home folder by default.
