## About TermSCP ๐ฅ
Termscp is a feature rich terminal file transfer and explorer, with support for SCP/SFTP/FTP. So basically is a terminal utility with an TUI to connect to a remote server to retrieve and upload files and to interact with the local file system. It is **Linux**, **MacOS**, **BSD** and **Windows** compatible and supports SFTP, SCP, FTP and FTPS.
---
### Why TermSCP ๐ค
It happens quite often to me, when using SCP at work to forget the path of a file on a remote machine, which forces me to connect through SSH, gather the file path and finally download it through SCP. I could use WinSCP, but I use Linux and I pratically use the terminal for everything, so I wanted something like WinSCP on my terminal. Yeah, I know there is midnight commander too, but actually I don't like it very much tbh (and hasn't a decent support for scp).

## Documentation ๐

## Known issues ๐งป
- `NoSuchFileOrDirectory` on connect (WSL): I know about this issue and it's a glitch of WSL I guess. Don't worry about it, just move the termscp executable into another PATH location, such as `/usr/bin`, or install it through the appropriate package format (e.g. deb).
---
## Upcoming Features ๐งช
- **Themes provider ๐จ**: I'm still thinking about how I will implement this, but basically the idea is to have a configuration file where it will be possible
to define the color schema for the entire application. I haven't planned this release yet
- **Local and remote file explorer format ๐**: From 0.5.0 you will be able to customize the file format for both local and remote hosts.
- **Synchronized browsing of local and remote directories โ**: See [Issue 8](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/8)
- **Group file select ๐คฉ**: Possibility to select a group of files in explorers to operate on
No other new feature is planned at the moment. I actually think that termscp is getting mature and now I should focus upcoming updates more on bug fixing and
code/performance improvements than on new features.
Anyway there are some ideas which I'd like to implement. If you want to start working on them, feel free to open a PR:
- Amazon S3 support
- Samba support
- Themes provider
