Could you add a DDS or a callback that triggers when a remote file finishes downloading or uploading? The idea is that once the user downloads a remote file, the plugin receives a DDS and can perform additional tasks with the file (such as mounting a .zip, displaying spot with more details, etc.). |

Resolves #611
I began working on support for remote file management in late July this year, it is the most complex feature we've ever supported, but we did it!
The virtual file system infrastructure is now in place, which means it will be easy to add other popular services besides SFTP in the future. For less popular services, we can also integrate tools like
rclonewith VFS.The user documentation can be found at https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/next/configuration/vfs. If you encounter any bugs, please open a bug report.
Note that the latest nightly build is required at the moment, and there are still some known issues tracked by #3395 that will be addressed in future releases.
