Doesn't Work. Using ChromeOS on a HP 14a 0022od chromebook. Refuses to connect. Tried my HTTP server AND FTP server. Neither worked. Tried those same servers in my web browser and connects immediately.

Apparently it does not support modern key exchange methods. See https://github.com/tjibbevanderlaan/chromeos-filesystem-sftp/issues/131 and http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html

Doesn't work at all... Either no connection to sftp server or "time out".

"Connecting failed: -1 111" Which tells us exactly what? 7F-All!

As others have pointed out it won't connect to anything. Times out after a few seconds or throws an error in spite of correct info entered. Connect fine with filezilla and winscp on my mac and pc, respectively.

A few "minor" bugs, like not saving credentials, make this app completely unusable.

Couldn't get it to delete a folder. Timed out.

It times-out after a few minutes every time, sometimes sooner; it is impossible to move large files and difficult to move lots of small files. Once the connection times out, some files are damaged or fail to transfer.

Always timed out after 5-10 secs. Verified my WiFi was working by using codeanywhere's FTP client.

Broken, can't establish a connection. "Nacl module crashed". "Failed to init SFTP session -25 11"

Does not work. It disconnects randomly and is not able to copy from Chromebook to SFTP server any file. It works better copyng from SFTP to Chromebook but is not reliable enough.

can't get it to work at all. Some directions would be nice. How do I specify the path to an ssh key? /Downloads/ssh/id_rsa ? ssh/id_rsa ? nothing works. On server that allows passwords the app just hangs at login.

Tried to copy a file (quite a large one). It failed. Waste of time.

Can't make it work...

A shocking app!!! Constantly timesout and disconnects so have to mount/remount. Such a timewaster. Needs some option adding a connection timeout option.

Won't mount, he's saying that he is mounting, but nothing happens. In my file explorer on my chromebook nothing changed. I hope there will be a update or something to help me.

Spent the best part of an hour trying to get this to work. When it did and said "successfully mounted," it did no such thing. Useless.

Worst app ever. It only works on PC, which I hate. Seriously, what is the deal with people ignoring macbooks these days? Everyone's like, "Oh, everyone obviously uses a PC!" Well some people don't have PCs.
