Dual-Pane P2P File Explorer & Remote Administration Tool

Linux is my primary operating system for work, and I have always strived to use tools that are highly convenient. Since running WinSCP via Wine on Linux was unsatisfactory, and other existing alternatives fell short in the details, I ended up writing my own dual-pane file manager as a pet project. Thanks to modern technologies, the initial development took just a single month in 2026. Ultimately, I created a true cross-platform solution for Linux, Windows, and macOS (OS X). Over time, I added support for everything from commonly used network protocols to my own custom P2P protocols. As I used the tool, I kept expanding its features—ranging from viewing RAW camera images to a built-in PDF reader—always refining it based on my own experience as a developer to meet the exact requirements of daily tasks. I decided to share this project with you because it outperforms competitors for my specific needs. Most importantly, it integrates with Node.In.Net: I connect to peers from my own node, getting fast peer-to-peer access to my devices, local and SSH (sftp) terminals, WebDAV, and everything a developer needs. It also supports all the archives I require.
