Usage

Use 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
```

Use on the jump server

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

Use on the remote server

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

Suggestion

It is recommended to set alias ssh="trzsz ssh" for convenience, alias ssh="trzsz -d ssh" for dragging files to upload.
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 ( C:\Users\your_name\.trzsz.conf on Windows ). 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.
- ⭐ Recommended to use trzsz-ssh ( tssh ) instead, tssh is same as 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.
