Description brute4s99 2020-01-09 16:06:20 UTC

SUMMARY
Using SSHFS limits KDE Connect to just Linux Operating System. 
As a fallback, we need a SFTP Browser to interact with the mobile FileSystem remotely.
This fallback browser will the de-facto way to access filesystems on Windows and MacOS port for KDE Connect.

OBSERVED RESULT

On Linux: use SSHFS
On Windows: use a third party application like WinSCP to furnish the SFTP interface
On MacOS: <please populate this>

EXPECTED RESULT

SFTP Browser kicks in when the desktop does not have SSHFS (or if the SSHFS way fails on Linux)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Prior work by Inokinoki has shown promising results during August/September 2019. Please contact him for further information on his experience. He is also accessible by the KDE Connect Devel group at the time of writing this bug report.
