Hi Linux Lemmites. Recently finished up school and started working full time and kind of miss working on personal projects. I’m looking to try to make something in rust and try out gpui if I can figure it out or maybe egui. I also want to make something maybe even a handful of people would actually use as I find that motivating, so I ask what would actually be useful to you?
Edit: thank you all very much for the input, I think that maybe doing something akin to a “settings+” would be a fair target for me for a n initial project. If I make anything interesting I’ll make another post in this sub.
WinSCP is a Windows tool I use at work to send files between machines and I wish there was linux version. Programs like Dolphin are similar but I always manage to find something I can do in WinSCP that I can’t do in the linux alternatives
Edit: commenters just pointed out a bunch of potential solutions I wasn’t even aware of, so I’m probably just dumb please carry on
Have you seen the current version of SSH Pilot? Close enough perhaps?
I’m not sure what WinSCP has what linux SCP hasn’t? I guess WinSCP is a GUI tool?
I do a lot of scp to send files between machines (even mac<->linux).
It’s a GUI tool that lets you see both filesystem side by side and drag and drop items to transfer them
Can’t you already do that from Nautilus with bookmarked sftp locations?
I’m not commenting to discourage other tools from being made, just curious if there’s some aspect of that process that isn’t already easy to accomplish on Linux with existing GUI tools, or if you’d like to be able to do it differently is all.
I’m intrigued.
Do you recall something in particular?
FWIW, I usually just connect to a ssh location from within Nautilus.
