trzsz (trz/tsz) is a simple file transfer tool for SSH terminals, similar to lrzsz (rz/sz), but compatible with tmux. It supports directory transfer, breakpoint resume, drag-and-drop upload, progress bars, and works across Python, Go, and JavaScript implementations.

Use cases

• transfer files over ssh inside tmux
• upload files to remote server from terminal
• download files from remote server over ssh
• replace rz sz with a tmux-compatible tool
• transfer files through ssh jump hosts and docker
• drag and drop files to upload over ssh terminal
• resume interrupted file transfers over ssh

When to choose

• you need rz/sz-style file transfer but use tmux
• you transfer files through multi-hop ssh chains (laptop -> host -> docker) where scp/sftp is inconvenient
• you want directory transfer, resume, and progress bars in the terminal
• you need file transfer in web terminals or iTerm2

When to avoid

• you need bulk automated file sync rather than interactive terminal transfers
• your terminal does not support trzsz and you cannot use trzsz ssh or tssh
• you need high-throughput transfers better served by scp/rsync/sftp
