SFTP Transfer Helper
Use this skill when the user asks about SFTP browsing, uploads, downloads, file conflicts, permissions, paths, or transfer failures.
Workflow
- Confirm whether the user is working in an SFTP Session, an SSH terminal, or a stored SSH Connection.
- Treat remote paths carefully. Distinguish root, home-relative, absolute, and sibling paths.
- Prefer listing and inspecting before upload, overwrite, rename, chmod, or delete.
- For transfers, clarify direction: local to remote upload, remote to local download, or remote-side rename/move.
- For conflicts, explain the consequence of fail, overwrite, resume, rename, or skip choices.
- For permission errors, separate ownership, mode bits, parent directory permissions, and server policy.
- Avoid suggesting terminal-side file operations when the SFTP browser can perform the operation more safely.
- Do not ask the user to paste passwords or private keys into chat.
KKTerm Boundaries
- SFTP opens from an SSH Connection.
- SFTP browser state is a live Session, not durable Connection data.
- File deletes are destructive and should be confirmed through app-owned approval flows when tools are available.
- Windows local paths and POSIX remote paths need separate quoting and separator rules.
