Save a connection once and a remote filesystem behaves like a local drive: mounts listed, folders measured, duplicates found. Remote hosts ## The full-disk server, without the SSH session. Save a connection once and a remote filesystem behaves exactly like a local drive: mounts listed, folders measured, duplicates found, files deleted. On a host with a shell, one `find` pass streams the whole tree back in a single round trip. - SFTP, FTPS or plain FTP — or let it dial each one and keep whichever answers - Password, private key or SSH agent authentication - Over SSH, duplicate hashing runs on the remote host: kilobytes of output cross the wire, not gigabytes of file - 1–16 parallel connections per host, so a slow link is a setting rather than a wall For your IT team - **Fast path** — GNU find -printf streams type/size/path for the whole tree in one command; falls back to a concurrent directory walk on any SFTP or FTP server - **Mounts** — df -Pk enumerates real filesystems; pseudo mounts (tmpfs, proc, snap…) are filtered out - **Remote hashing** — dd + sha1sum for the 4 KB prefix pass, sha1sum for the full pass; falls back to streaming 4 KB per candidate when the account has no shell - **No SFTP subsystem?** — Listing falls back to find -maxdepth 1, so browsing keeps working on locked-down accounts backup-01 · root@10.0.4.12 SFTP / (root) 412 GB · 96% full /var 188 GB /home 121 GB /srv/backup 63 GB · 14 GB duplicated SFTPover SSH FTPSFTP over TLS FTPplain — flagged in the UI [Previous Space Wizard overview](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/space-wizard/) [Next Free and Pro](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/space-wizard/editions/)
