Hi all, I was pretty happy with Amaze, but their SSH connection constantly breaks (all the top issues are about it), and Fossify doesn't have any network connections.

Does anyone know of a good modern file manager with SSH that works?

Assuming you mean SSH for file transfer? Material Files supports SFTP, and I use it to connect via SSH to my machines to transfer files.

Thanks, will take a look!

Edit: This one is great, and is the winner so far. Bonus points for Webdav. I do wish it had multiple swipable screens like others do, makes copying much easier.

You can open a second window, and you can switch between them in the recent apps list. Triple dot menu -> new window.

Oh that's pretty crazy. Not the UI I would expect, but it does work.

Yeah, for sure. I tend to use WebDAV with that to connect to my Nextcloud more than the actual Nextcloud app. Works great.
