  AnySCP Demo



SSH terminals, SFTP file management, and S3 cloud storage -- all in one app.

## 🚀 Overview



AnySCP is a free, open-source desktop application that combines an SSH terminal, SFTP file explorer, and S3-compatible cloud storage browser into a single, fast, privacy-first tool. Built with Tauri v2 (Rust backend + React frontend), it runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. No cloud accounts, no subscriptions -- your credentials stay on your machine.

## ✨ Features



### 💻 SSH Terminal Client

- Full-featured terminal emulator powered by xterm.js with GPU-accelerated WebGL rendering

- Split terminal panes (horizontal and vertical) within a single SSH session

- In-terminal search with regex support

- Tabbed SSH sessions with keyboard shortcuts

- Configurable keep-alive intervals, startup commands, default shell, and proxy jump (bastion host)

- SSH key authentication with automatic PPK-to-OpenSSH conversion

- Import connections from `~/.ssh/config`



### 📁 SFTP File Manager

- Browse, upload, download, rename, move, copy, and delete remote files and directories

- Drag-and-drop file upload from your desktop directly into the remote file browser

- Multi-select files with Ctrl+Click and Shift+Click for bulk operations

- Cut, copy, and paste files between remote directories

- Inline file and folder creation

- Edit remote files in VS Code -- automatically re-uploads when you save

- Transfer queue with real-time progress bars, transfer speed, and ETA

- Concurrent file transfers with configurable parallelism



### ☁️ S3 Cloud Storage Browser

- Connect to **Amazon S3**, **MinIO**, **Cloudflare R2**, **Backblaze B2**, **Wasabi**, **DigitalOcean Spaces**, or any S3-compatible storage service

- Same file browser UI as SFTP -- sort, multi-select, context menus, keyboard shortcuts

- Drag-and-drop upload with recursive directory support

- Create files, create folders, bulk delete (including recursive folder delete)

- Generate and copy presigned URLs for sharing

- Edit S3 objects in VS Code with automatic re-upload on save

- Transfer progress tracking with speed and ETA

- Switch between multiple buckets within a single connection



### 🔗 Server & Connection Management

- Save SSH hosts and S3 connections with labels, colors, environment tags, and notes

- Organize connections into color-coded groups

- Import SSH hosts from `~/.ssh/config` with one click

- One-click connect using credentials stored in your OS keychain

- Recent connections list for quick access

- Full connection history with audit log



### 📋 Command Snippets Library

- Save frequently used shell commands with labels and descriptions

- Create parameterized command templates with `{{variable}}` placeholders

- Organize snippets into folders

- Quick-insert panel accessible from any terminal session

- Full-text search across all saved snippets



### 🔀 SSH Port Forwarding

- Set up local and remote SSH tunnels

- Create, start, and stop port forwarding rules per host

- Tunnels create their own SSH connections automatically -- no terminal session needed

- Monitor active tunnel status in real time

- Presets for common services (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, HTTP, Kubernetes)



### 🔐 Security & Privacy

- Credentials stored in your **OS keychain** (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux libsecret/KWallet)

- SSH private keys and passwords never leave the Rust backend process

- Fully offline -- no internet connection required after installation

- Open source -- audit the code yourself

> **macOS note**: If you see "app is damaged", run: `xattr -cr /Applications/anyscp.app`



### Requirements

- macOS 11+, Windows 10+, or Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+)

- For SFTP: SSH access to remote servers

- For S3: Access key and secret key (or S3-compatible credentials)



## 🔨 Building



### Prerequisites

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) 18+

- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io)

- [Rust](https://rustup.rs) (latest stable)

- Platform-specific Tauri dependencies: [Tauri prerequisites](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/)



### Build Instructions



```bash

# Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/macnev2013/anyscp.git

cd anyscp



# Install frontend dependencies

pnpm install



# Run in development mode (hot-reload)

pnpm tauri dev



# Build for production (generates platform-specific installer)

pnpm tauri build

```



## 🛠 Tech Stack



| Layer | Technology |

|-------|-----------|

| Desktop runtime | [Tauri v2](https://v2.tauri.app) |

| Backend | Rust (tokio, russh, russh-sftp, rust-s3, rusqlite) |

| Frontend | React 19, TypeScript (strict), Tailwind CSS v4 |

| Terminal | xterm.js with WebGL renderer |

| State management | Zustand |

| Credential storage | OS keychain via `keyring` crate |

| Database | SQLite (bundled, zero config) |



## 🏗 Architecture



AnySCP follows a strict frontend/backend separation:



- **Rust does the heavy lifting** -- all SSH, SFTP, S3, encryption, and file I/O runs in Rust

- **React is a thin view layer** -- renders UI and manages local state via Zustand

- **Tauri IPC** bridges the two with type-safe commands (request/response) and events (server push)

- **Credentials never cross the IPC boundary** -- the frontend never sees passwords or private keys

- **Shared `FileSystemProvider` abstraction** -- SFTP and S3 browsers use identical UI components with capability flags that show/hide features per protocol

## 🐛 Troubleshooting



### SSH Connection Issues

- **Can't connect**: Verify host, port, username, and credentials

- **Authentication failed**: Check password or SSH key permissions

- **Timeout**: Check firewall settings and network connectivity



### S3 Connection Issues

- **Access Denied**: Verify your access key and secret key are correct

- **Bucket not found**: Check the bucket name and region settings

- **Invalid credentials**: Ensure IAM user has S3 permissions



### File Operations

- **Permission denied**: Ensure your user has appropriate file permissions

- **Upload failed**: Check available disk space on remote server



### macOS

- **"App is damaged"**: Run `xattr -cr /Applications/anyscp.app`
