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.

• For more information, check the website of trzsz: https://trzsz.github.io. 中文文档：https://trzsz.github.io/cn/

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.

Zmodem support

• Use -z or --zmodem to enable the rz / sz feature. e.g., trzsz -z ssh remote_server.

• lrzsz needs to be installed on the client ( local computer ). e.g., brew install lrzsz, apt install lrzsz, etc.

• trzsz --zmodem ssh xxx is not supported on Windows. You can use trzsz-ssh ( tssh ) instead, tssh --zmodem xxx.

• About the progress, the transferred and speed are not precise, there will be some deviation. It just indicating that the transfer is in progress.

Clipboard integration

• Use -o or --osc52 to enable the clipboard integration feature. e.g., trzsz -o ssh remote_server.

• Clipboard integration allows remote servers to write to the local clipboard via OSC52 sequences.

• On Linux, clipboard integration requires xclip or xsel command to be installed.

Configuration

trzsz looks for configuration at ~/.trzsz.conf ( C:\Users\your_name\.trzsz.conf on Windows ), e.g.:

DefaultUploadPath =
DefaultDownloadPath = /Users/username/Downloads/
DragFileUploadCommand = trz -y
ProgressColorPair = B14FFF 00FFA3

• 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.

• The default value of DragFileUploadCommand is trz, configure it to trz -y if you want to overwrite the existing files, configure it to rz if you want to use rz to upload.

• The ProgressColorPair configures the color of the progress bar. You need to configure 2 colors and do not include #. The progress bar will gradient from the first color to the second color.

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.
