Description

Hi,

I’m currently using WindTerm 2.7.0 on macOS 15.4.1. The SFTP functionality allows me to drag and drop local files to upload them to the remote server, which works perfectly.

However, when I try to drag files from the remote server to my local machine, the files are not downloaded, and nothing happens. I expected this to trigger a download and allow me to place the file anywhere on my local system.

Is this a known limitation, or is there a setting I might be missing to enable drag-and-drop downloading from remote to local? If this feature is not yet supported, are there any plans to include it in a future release?

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in WindTerm’s SFTP functionality on macOS 15.4.1, comparing remote-to-local dragging with the working local-to-remote upload flow. Done means dragging a remote file initiates a download and allows placement anywhere on the local system, with the behavior verified against the reported environment.
