someone should figure out how to make it so that if you drag and drop a file into an SSH session (like in putty), it automatically creates some kind of tunnel (over SFTP or something?) and transfers the file

I'm tired of being SSH'd into a system and realizing I need to copy 1 file, so now I need to authenticate to SFTP or set up filezilla or something

like maybe you drag-drop a file onto putty, it runs the unix equivalent of "COPY CON FILENAME.DAT" and then types in the file for you.but with dynamic tunnels and binary transfers and not plaintext

@foone I think SecureCRT does this if you have SecureFX installed as well.I don't have that on this machine to check. I just have SecureCRT and if you drag+drop on it, it offers to send via ascii, binary, or Kermit/Xmodem/Ymodem/Zmodem

@foone You would technically not even need a separate tunnel. It could just launch "rz" on the remote end and start smashing ZMODEM down the pipe! :333333333

@foone adding tunnels is supported. You can use the SSH escape sequences to add/manage port forwarding stuff (PuTTY can also do it through the SSH menu). Rest may just be some clever use of netcat on both sides.

@foone Some terminals provide functionality like this via Zmodem - you drag a file into the window and it types something like “rz file name” into the session and then pipes it in. I think at least iTerm2 on the Mac does this.

@foone Tabby has built-in sftp support for this. You need to slightly modify the remote server's PS1 prompt (so that it knows where you are) but that way you can upload to and download from remote servers without needing to reauth

@foone > use the already-authenticated channel I have openIs there an equivalent of SSH "ControlMaster" on Windows? Because on linux that's exaclty how I reuse open channels to rsync or scp (and as a bonus: this make autocomplete work on remote paths, even without a ssh key in the key agent).Also I think I vaguely remember that Filezilla can use PuTTY's key agent. (so it will open a diffetent channel, but reuse the already loaded SSH key).And at worst: there's always Zmodem

@foone SecureCRT does allow you to open an SFTP session from the current SSH session, but it’s CLI-based, so that’s not exactly what you’re looking for. No idea if it’s possible to script something that will do what you want using it though.

@foone IIRC, putty still supports ZMODEM. If the target server has rz installed, run that and putty will prevent a file closer dialogI wish command line ssh client had that too

@foone if you use a terminal program that speaks x/z/ymodem (Konsole for example) you can run the xmodem receive tool on the remote end and a file selector will pop up.
