Description

What? Plugin for upload and download using SFTP in Lua.

Why? Provide upload to server and download from server using SFTP. Would be nice if it store server configuration locally per project, not in neovim configuration. (Like SFTP extensions in VSCode. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Natizyskunk.sftp)

Potential existing implementations: Vim Script: https://github.com/eshion/vim-sftp-sync (server configuration still not local per project). Python: https://github.com/dcampos/nvim-sftp-sync (doesn't have download yet, server config not local per project).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research existing SFTP implementations in Lua and Neovim, understand the SFTP protocol, and design a plugin architecture that stores server configuration locally per project.
