    I am using libssh to do an SFTP connexion to a remote server.
    I would like the user to select files from the remote server ,is there a way the FileDialog would point to the root Directory of the server like for example in WinScp?
    Thank you in advance.

      You would have to subclass and implement yourself to achieve this.

        No, you have to write a model on your own.
