- **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

```sh
brew install --cask kleash/tap/airscp
```

Or download the zip from [Releases](https://github.com/kleash/airscp/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](SECURITY.md#check-a-download).

## Use it from AI agents

1. Turn on **Settings ▸ Allow AI agents to control AirSCP**, then `claude mcp add airscp -- /Applications/AirSCP.app/Contents/MacOS/AirSCP --mcp`
2. Or install the Claude Code plugin: `/plugin marketplace add kleash/airscp`, then `/plugin install airscp@airscp`
3. Docs for agents: [llms.txt](docs/llms.txt) · [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)
