Description

Adds SFTP access support to VLC, enabling opening media from SFTP locations. It is useful when VLC needs this specific codec, output, device, storage, discovery, or network-media feature.

This package is a VLC plugin, not a standalone media player. It becomes useful through VLC, and untrusted media, devices, credentials, or network sources should still be handled carefully. Network media can expose credentials, local addresses, or browsing behavior, so use trusted servers and networks.
