The remote file browser for professionals
XPipe is a brand-new type of remote file browser that works by interacting with your installed command-line programs to establish and utilize local and remote shell connections. This approach makes it much more flexible as it doesn't have to deal with any file system APIs, remote file handling protocols, or libraries at all.
It currently supports:
- Containers located on any host such as docker or LXD container instances
- SSH connections
- Windows Subsystem for Linux instances
- Powershell Remote Sessions
- Kubernetes clusters and their contained pods and containers
- Any other custom remote connection methods that works through the command-line
- Arbitrary types of proxies to establish connections
Furthermore, XPipe integrates with your existing tools and workflows by delegating all tasks to your favourite text/code editors, terminals, shells, command-line tools and more. The platform is designed to be extensible, allowing anyone to implement custom functionality through extensions.
