The file explorer

After you establish a connection with a remote host, termscp shows the file explorer. The explorer is made up of three panels.

  • Local explorer panel: displayed on the left of the screen. It shows the entries of the current directory on localhost.
  • Remote explorer panel: displayed on the right of the screen. It shows the entries of the current directory on the remote host.
  • Find results panel: shown after you search for files. Depending on where you searched (local or remote), it replaces the local explorer panel or the remote explorer panel and lists the entries matching your search query.

Switching between panels

Use the following keys to move between panels.

  • <LEFT>: move to the local explorer panel.
  • <RIGHT>: move to the remote explorer panel.
  • <TAB>: switch the active explorer tab.
  • <ESC>: while in the find results panel, exit it and return to the previous panel.
