Trzsz ( go ) Document

trzsz-go makes all terminals that support local shell to support trzsz ( trz / tsz ), which similar to ( rz / sz ), and compatible with tmux.

sudo dpkg -i /tmp/trzsz_*.deb

sudo dnf install /tmp/trzsz_*.rpm

tar zxvf trzsz_*.tar.gz && sudo cp trzsz_*/t* /usr/bin/

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.
