  • Two panes: your Mac on the left, a server on the right. Drag to copy, also server to server.

  • A transfer queue that runs in the background: pause and resume, go on after a dropped connection, check copies with SHA-256, limit the speed.

  • Folders as one fast stream, with compression and "leave out" patterns (node_modules, *.log).

  • Synchronize two folders with a preview first; Find Files on a server by name or pattern.

  • Every way in: keys, passwords, 2FA codes, jump hosts, HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies. Your ~/.ssh/config just works.

  • Remote Desktop for Windows built in, with the clipboard and files both ways.

  • Monitor a Linux server (CPU, memory, disks, processes, ports), open tunnels, run commands and snippets.

  • Keys: make any key type, put it on a server, import and export PuTTY .ppk.

  • AI agents can drive it over MCP when you allow it: their changes wait for your OK, and they never see your passwords.

  • Uses the ssh, scp and sftp built into macOS, shows every command it runs. No account. macOS 13.1+.

Install

brew install --cask kleash/tap/airscp

Or download the zip from Releases. The first time you open AirSCP, macOS says it can't check the app for malware (AirSCP isn't notarized yet): click Done, then System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Open Anyway. On macOS 14 or earlier, right-click AirSCP ▸ Open works too. Every file has its SHA-256, and the ones GitHub built have signed build provenance: check a download.

Related MCP server: Conduit

Use it from AI agents
