Developer uses Claude Code to build custom iTerm2 SSH file transfer tool

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a custom tool using Claude Code to streamline file transfers between macOS and remote SSH servers. This tool, integrated with iTerm2, allows users to send screenshots, files, and folders from their Mac to an SSH host with a single keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧V). It also enables downloading files or folders from the SSH host back to the Mac using another shortcut (⌘⇧D). The developer highlighted the flexibility of having an AI build the tool, allowing for on-the-fly modifications and customizations, such as handling character encoding and path wrapping, which would be more complex with traditional software.
