termscp is a terminal file transfer client and file explorer designed to provide a graphical-style workflow inside a terminal. It presents local and remote files through an interactive TUI rather than requiring users to remember protocol-specific transfer commands.
The same interface can be used with a broad collection of remote services. This makes termscp useful for people who regularly move files between conventional servers, object storage and network filesystems but want to remain in a terminal.
Its interface supports routine file management as well as transfers, so users can browse, create, rename, search, view and edit files without leaving the application.
This is free and open source software.
