Usage

on the local computer

Add trzsz before the shell to support trzsz ( trz / tsz ), e.g.:

trzsz bash
trzsz PowerShell
trzsz ssh x.x.x.x

Add trzsz --dragfile before the ssh to enable drag files and directories to upload, e.g.:

trzsz -d ssh x.x.x.x
trzsz --dragfile ssh x.x.x.x

on the jump server

If using tmux on the jump server, use trzsz --relay ssh to login to the remote server, e.g.:

tmux
trzsz -r ssh x.x.x.x
trzsz --relay ssh x.x.x.x

on the remote server

Similar to lrzsz ( rz / sz ), command trz to upload files, command tsz /path/to/file to download files.

For more information, check the website of trzsz: https://trzsz.github.io.

Suggestion

• It is recommended to set alias ssh="trzsz ssh" for convenience, alias ssh="trzsz -d ssh" for dragging files.

• If using tmux on the local computer, run tmux ( without trzsz ) first, then trzsz ssh to login.

Configuration

trzsz looks for configuration at ~/.trzsz.conf. The path have to end with /, e.g.:

DefaultUploadPath =
DefaultDownloadPath = /Users/username/Downloads/

• If the DefaultUploadPath is not empty, the path will be opened by default while choosing upload files.

• If the DefaultDownloadPath is not empty, downloading files will be saved to the path automatically instead of asking each time.

Trouble shooting

• If using MSYS2 or Git Bash on windows, and getting an error The handle is invalid.

  • Install winpty by pacman -S winpty in MSYS2.
  • Git Bash should have winpty installed, no need to install it manually.
  • Add winpty before trzsz, e.g.: winpty trzsz ssh x.x.x.x.

• The /usr/bin/ssh in MSYS2 and Cygwin is not supported yet, use the OpenSSH instead.

  • In MSYS2, e.g.: winpty trzsz /c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe x.x.x.x.
  • In Cygwin, e.g.: trzsz "C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe" x.x.x.x.
  • Or use trzsz-ssh instead, e.g.: tssh alias ( The tssh includes trzsz ssh ).

• Dragging files doesn't upload?

  • Don't forget the --dragfile option. e.g.: trzsz -d ssh x.x.x.x.
  • Make sure the trz in one of the PATH directory on the server.
  • On Windows, make sure there is no Administrator on the title.
  • The cmd and PowerShell only support draging one file into it.
  • On the Windows Terminal, drag files to the top left where shows Paste path to file.
