Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/electerm/electerm/issues/178

In src/client/components/sftp/index.jsx line 313, it set:

 let remotePath = username === 'root'
      ? '/root'
      : `/home/${tab.username}`

Maybe we can modify to:

  let remotePath = username === 'root'
       ? '/root'
       : `~`

Can we just use '~/' as default remote path, not the absolute path? I'm newbie of electron, so it is kind of stupid.

thanks, sure it is a problem, will be fixed. but I do not know a better way to handle it for now. I tried '~', it do not work.do a try catch seems not elegant enough.I wonder if ssh server give the home folder info.

Can we just execute a command to obtain the home path?
