That's all fine and dandy, but if it's a graphic tool you want, why not
just use the file manager that you already have (ie Dolphin, Nautilus,
Caja etc etc)
No need for Filezilla or anything like that.........

We do a lot of remote connecting to Raspberry Pis :-) Until now, I have
personally used SSH from a console to do work on the remote device; mainly
tailing logfiles and editing with nano, etc. I then use Filezilla to up and
download files to and from the remote device. I do a lot of the latter,
because at least once per week I connect to all the Pis in the network and
download results files which show the levels of water in the various areas of
the River System. (Yes, I know I could use scp, but I have mega problems
remembering the pathnames ;-( )

I too saw this a couple of days ago and I downloaded it here to my desktop.
In essence it would appear to allow me to up and download files to and from the
remote device, edit files on the remote device and also get a shell console on
the remote device; all without logging in to each device two or three times.
The main downside (arguably) is that it breaks the golden rule of 'do one
thing and do it well', but if it works and it isn't too buggy, I'd be happy to
use it. I plan to try it out on Monday or Tuesday when I routinely retrieve
the Results.
