I built Xyra, a desktop-style SSH/SFTP dashboard for managing Linux/VPS files from Windows

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a small tool called Xyra.
It is a Windows desktop app for managing Linux/VPS files over SSH/SFTP, but instead of feeling like a classic remote file list, I wanted it to feel more like a lightweight desktop environment.
The idea came from constantly jumping between old tools, raw directory listings, configs, assets, webroots and server folders. I wanted something more visual and comfortable for daily VPS work.

Current features:

  • SSH / SFTP based remote file browsing
  • desktop-style folder and file view
  • drag & drop uploads
  • built-in text/code editor
  • image previews
  • archive handling for .zip, .rar, .7z, .pk3, .iwd
  • remote file search
  • server health snapshot
  • favorite folders and quick paths
  • safer delete flow using a remote .xyra-trash
  • custom icon pack support
  • standalone Windows 64-bit .exe

It is still early, but version 1.6 is now the first non-beta release.

I’d love to hear feedback, especially from people who manage VPS/Linux servers often.

What would you expect from a tool like this?
