# Workspace, Files, and Scripts

The JumpServer Client workspace organizes open sessions, files, and scripts in the
desktop client. These tools live in the client window, so you can use them beside
the connection you are working in without switching to another application.

The workspace arrived with the refreshed client, together
with the unified connection entry for SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, database, and RemoteApp
assets. This page covers split views, the file workspace, the script library, and
SFTP Server connections. For the connection flow itself, see
[Asset Connection](https://www.jumpserver.com/docs/features/client/asset-connection.md).

## Overview

| Capability              | What it does                                                              |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Split views             | Shows more than one session in the client window at the same time.        |
| File workspace          | Browses and transfers files for the asset you are connected to.           |
| Script library          | Keeps scripts in the client so you can reuse them in terminal sessions.   |
| SFTP Server connections | Opens a file-only session with an SFTP server instead of a shell session. |

## Before you begin

- JumpServer Client is installed and you are signed in.
- Your account is authorized for the asset and account you connect to.
- The asset platform enables the protocol you need, such as SFTP.
- For file operations, your authorization includes the actions you intend to use.

## Split views

New in v5.0.0
Split views place more than one session in the client window at the same time. Use
them to compare output from two assets, copy a command from one session to another,
or keep a file view visible while you work in a terminal.

Each part of a split view keeps its own connection, account, and session state, so
you can work in one view without interrupting the other.

## File workspace

New in v5.0.0
The file workspace is the file view inside JumpServer Client. It shows the
directories and files of the asset you are connected to, and moves files between
the local computer and that asset.

- Browse the remote directory tree and open a directory to list its files.
- Upload files from the local computer to the current remote directory.
- Download files from the remote directory to the local computer.

File operations use the same authorization and account as the session they belong
to. A directory the account cannot read shows no files, and an action the
authorization does not allow fails at the server, not in the client.

## Script library

New in v5.0.0
The script library keeps scripts in the client so you can reuse them across
sessions. Instead of typing the same commands again, select the saved script and
send it to the active terminal session.

Scripts run in the session with the permissions of the account used for the
connection. Review a script before you send it to a production asset.

## SFTP Server connections

New in v5.0.0
An SFTP Server connection works on files only. It connects your client to an SFTP
service and opens the file workspace, so you can browse directories and transfer
files without opening a terminal session on the target.

Use an SFTP Server connection when you need to move files to or from a server and
do not need a shell. Select the authorized account for the connection, then work
with the files in the file workspace.

## Notes

- Split views, the file workspace, and the script library are client-side tools.
  They do not change the authorization, command filter, or recording behavior
  configured on the server.
- SFTP Server connections need an account and an authorization that allow SFTP
  access to the target.
- If a file action fails, confirm the account permissions on the asset and the
  actions allowed by your authorization before repeating the operation.
