But compare with GOG then. They sell games, you download them with no DRM so you own the download essentially.

This is the model digital media should take, frankly. Anything less may as well be misleading marketing, as far as I’m concerned.

Commenting to indicate my shared interest in this (despite the other comments suggesting the unlikelihood of such an option emerging).

Ghost Commander may work for this. I’ve not tried sftp myself, but on opening it I do see the option there, so it might be worth a try.

Makes sense!

I set up Wireguard simply to get a rough understanding of how to do so & to try to access some home resources while away, which works well enough across simpler network situations, but as you indicate, breaks down against more complicated network situations.

Similar might be running Wireguard yourself, right? Albeit if memory serves that setup tends to require port forwarding, so maybe not (or maybe I set it up wrong).
