A GitHub Action that copies files and build artifacts to remote servers over SSH using SCP. It supports key and password authentication, jump-host proxies, multi-server targets, and integration with GitHub Artifacts.

Use cases

  • deploy build artifacts to a server from a GitHub Actions workflow
  • copy files to multiple remote hosts via SSH in CI
  • upload changed files only during deployment
  • transfer files to a Windows server from a Linux runner
  • deploy through an SSH jump host / bastion proxy

When to choose

  • you deploy files from GitHub Actions to remote servers over SSH
  • you need SCP-based transfer with key or password auth inside CI
  • you want multi-server or jump-host file deployment in a workflow

When to avoid

  • you need SFTP/rsync or non-GitHub CI environments
  • your runner cannot run Linux Docker containers
  • you need interactive file transfer rather than automated CI deployment
