 so i have found this app recently and thought i would share. XPipe is a new type of shell connection hub and remote file manager that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local machine. It works on top of your installed command-line programs and does not require any setup on your remote systems. XPipe fully integrates with your tools such as your favourite text/code editors, terminals, shells, command-line tools and more.
