Why SFTP, not shell?

File operations go through the SSH SFTP subsystem — never exec('cat ...'), exec('rm ...'), or similar. This means:

• Safer. No shell escaping bugs. No accidental glob expansion.
• Faster. SFTP is a binary protocol; no parsing terminal output.
• More reliable. Atomic operations where the protocol supports them.

Limits

• Files larger than ~100 MB stream rather than buffer.
• Hidden directories (e.g., .git) are shown by default; toggle in settings.
