AirSCP

SCP/SFTP file transfer, SSH and Windows Remote Desktop in one native Mac app. Free and open source.

  • 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+.

Remote Desktop: Windows in the window, files and clipboard both ways

Synchronize: see what will be copied before anything changes

Monitor: CPU, memory, disks and processes, with Kill

AI agents: they drive AirSCP, and you see every action

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.

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 · AGENTS.md
