Browse to specific subtree by path

Getting Help
1

Hi,
am using restic over sftp / remote
and each command take 1-2 seconds
to short that, I try to find way browse directly to internal directory inside snapshot
for example, instead of do 3 times
restic -r sftp:USERNAME@HOST.TLD:/resticfolder cat snapshot SNAPSHOTID
(get first directory - home)
restic -r sftp:USERNAME@HOST.TLD:/resticfolder cat blob SUBTREEID
(get inside home directory and see user directory: test111)
restic -r sftp:USERNAME@HOST.TLD:/resticfolder cat blob SUBTREEID
(get inside test111 directory, see and show list of files and folders from backup to the user)

any option to do something like:
restic -r sftp:USERNAME@HOST.TLD:/resticfolder cat snapshot SNAPSHOTID path=/home/test111
?

Thanks for all your help :slight_smile:

Yes, this is what restic ls is for:

restic -r sftp:USERNAME@HOST.TLD:/resticfolder ls $SNAPSHOTID /home/test111

have you tried using ls -l (human readable) or ls --json?
