Why?

I love to use iTerm2 integrating with tmux to manage terminal sessions.

Sometimes, I need to transfer some files between my laptop and the remote server.

Considering laptop --> hostA --> hostB --> docker --> tmux , using scp to transfer files is inconvenience.

Tmux is not going to support lrzsz ( rz / sz ) ( 906, 1439 ), and I found out that creating a new file transfer tools is much easier than patching tmux.

Additionally, iTerm2-zmodem is not supporting a progress bar. Is there something wrong happened or just need more time?

Requirements

• Python
  • Python’s standard library is good enough.
• iTerm2
  • Tmux Integration and Coprocesses are so cool.
  • btw without tmux works too.

  • Optional for a nice progress bar.
