selahx

Remote Access Tool — Fast and lightweight CLI experience.

Features

• Remotely access files on a local machine from another device
• Transfer files from EC2 to local machine
• Lightweight and dependency-managed with Poetry

Usage

Server

Start the server on a specific host and port:

selahx server --key-file key.pem --port 1221 --ssh-host ubuntu@ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Options:

• --key-file — Path to the SSH private key
• --port — Local port for the server
• --ssh-host — SSH host (e.g., ubuntu@ec2-instance)

Client

Start a client and connect to the server:

selahx client --username user --port 1221

Options:

• --username — Username for the client session
• --port — Server port to connect to

Transfer files from EC2 to Local

Start saving files:

selahx save --key-file key.pem --user ubuntu --host ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com --dest ~/Downloads/test

Options:

• --key-file — Path to the SSH private key
• --user — ubuntu (user for ubuntu@ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com)
• --host — EC2 host (everything after @)
• --dest — Destination folder
• ~/Downloads/test — Example local destination path

Example Workflow

1. Launch the server on your EC2 instance:

selahx server --key-file key.pem --port 1221 --ssh-host ubuntu@ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com

2. Connect a client from your local machine:

selahx client --username user --port 1221

Once connected, a reverse SSH tunnel is automatically established.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Dependencies are managed via Poetry (see pyproject.toml)
