I know FileZilla also supports agent forwarding, but I'm not entirely sure how this would work in practise. If I'm understanding things right you can have a single jumphost and give a user access to multiple targets. So when the user connects to the jumphost using SFTP then what files/directories do they see?

Maybe I should just install and try this for myself...

Interactive selection for agent-forwarding only works for regular SSH, not sftp, due to having no way to enter input.

If I get around to it, one could wrap sftp completely, so that the available servers simply show up as root-level directories.

EDIT: Opened an issue about it.

That wound be amazing! I'll see if I can check if ProxyCommand is doable with FileZilla later as well.
