How to copy or cut files/folders to remote vfs in a plugin?

[boydaihungst]

What system are you running Yazi on?

Linux Wayland

What terminal are you running Yazi in?

Kitty 0.42

yazi --debug output

Sorry, I'm not with my pc for now.

Describe the question

My question is, is there any command or yazi api to copy or cut files/folders from a local to remote vfs URL? Since remote vfs doesn't actually exist in file system, lua api os.rename doesn't work anymore.

Anything else?

No response

My current workaround is using these commands to move file, but it isn't good at all.

		ya.emit("escape", { select = true })
			local valid_selected_files = {}
			valid_selected_files[#valid_selected_files + 1] = tostring(tmp_cache_path)
			valid_selected_files.state = "on"
			ya.emit("toggle_all", valid_selected_files)
			ya.emit("yank", { cut = true })
			ya.emit("cd", { tostring(output_url_maybe_vfs.parent), raw = true })
			ya.emit("paste", { force = true })

There isn't yet. I'll see if I can add it before the next release.
