Keyboard shortcuts

All the evoftp keyboard shortcuts are listed below. There are not many: the app is built for the mouse, and the keys cover the things you do most often — download, upload, refresh and move around a folder list. On Windows and Linux the modifier is Ctrl; on macOS it is .

Overview: evoftp guide.

Transfer and window shortcuts

These work anywhere in the window, whichever pane has focus.

Keys Action
Ctrl / ⌘ + D Download the files and folders selected in the seedbox pane
Ctrl / ⌘ + U Upload the files and folders selected in the local pane
Ctrl / ⌘ + R Refresh the pane that has focus
Esc Close any open dialog (settings, connect, rename, update)

Moving around a file list

Click once inside a pane so it has focus, then:

Keys Action
↑ / ↓ Move the selection one row up or down; hold Shift to extend it
Enter Open the selected folder; on a file, download it (seedbox pane) or open it with the OS (local pane)
Backspace Go up one folder
Delete Delete the selection — evoftp asks first
Ctrl / ⌘ + A Select everything in the pane

Selecting with the mouse

  • Click — select one item and drop the rest of the selection.
  • Ctrl-click (⌘-click on macOS) — add an item to the selection, or remove one that is already selected.
  • Shift-click — select every row between the last item you clicked and this one.

Double-click

  • A folder in either pane opens it.
  • A file in the seedbox pane starts downloading it into the folder shown on the left.
  • A file in the local pane opens it with whatever your OS uses for that file type.
  • A server in the sidebar needs only a single click to connect.

Note: the shortcuts cannot be changed, and there is no shortcut for New folder or Rename — use the toolbar or the right-click menu.
