SCP File Transfers

susshi provides an in-TUI form for uploading and downloading files via SCP.

Opening the SCP Form

Press s when a server is selected to open the SCP transfer form.

Form Fields

Field Description
Source Local path (upload) or user@host:/remote/path (download)
Destination Remote path (upload) or local path (download)

The form pre-fills the remote side with user@host: based on the selected server.

Transfer Progress

Transfer output is captured through a PTY-backed OpenSSH invocation and displayed live in the overlay. The progress line updates as data is transferred.

Dismiss with Esc once the transfer is complete, or press Esc to cancel an in-progress transfer.

Notes

  • The transfer uses the same SSH parameters as the selected server (key, port, jump, agent socket).
  • Wallix mode is not supported for SCP — the bastion does not allow arbitrary file transfers.
  • For large or automated transfers, use rsync or scp directly with the SSH command copied via y.
