Glyph helps you manage your remote servers from one window. Use this tool to organize your connections, check server status, and move files across multiple systems. It provides a clean interface for tasks that usually require complex code.

Glyph acts as a dashboard for your server infrastructure. Instead of juggling many terminal windows or different programs, you manage everything in one view.

• Centralized Connections: Save your server login details in one secure place.
• File Management: Move your data between your local computer and remote servers using a drag-and-drop interface.
• Status Monitoring: Watch your server performance in real-time.
• Modern Design: Enjoy a clear, visual layout that makes technical tasks easier to navigate.

Before you install Glyph, make sure your computer meets these needs:

• Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor.
• Memory: 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM.
• Storage: 200 megabytes of free space on your hard drive.

Glyph makes moving files between your desktop and your server simple. When you connect to a server, the application divides the screen. Your local files appear on the left, while your remote server files appear on the right.

You can drag a file from your computer folder and drop it into the server list. Glyph handles the transfer in the background. You can monitor the progress bar at the bottom of the window to see when the upload finishes.

Glyph handles your credentials locally on your computer. The application does not send your passwords or server keys to any external servers. Your saved connections stay inside the application folder on your Windows machine. Keep your computer password protected to ensure that nobody else can access your saved server list.

Does Glyph support multiple windows? Yes, you can open several tabs within the application to monitor different servers at the same time.

Can I change how the app looks? The application uses a neutral dark mode by default. You can adjust font sizes and theme settings in the settings menu.

What happens if the connection drops? Glyph automatically attempts to reconnect to your server if the network signal fades. It will alert you if the connection stays broken for more than a few seconds.

Do I need special software on my server? No, Glyph connects using standard protocols that almost every server provider already enables by default.

This project uses modern web technology to provide you with a smooth experience. It relies on the following tools:

• React: This powers the interface you see on screen.
• Electron: This allows the code to run as a standard desktop program.
• Tailwind CSS: This keeps the design consistent and easy to read.
• SSH2-SFTP: This handles the secure transport of your files.
• Vite: This manages the underlying code build process to keep the software fast.
