scp-sync

Tool for syncing your progress on some remote machine through scp, while trying to overcome some of the limitation of scp.

Why

This tool is made specificaly for the case where you have an ssh jumped/tunneled connection from one machine to some other remote without a constant environnement ( Windows -> Windows -> Linux for example) and thus not acces to fancy tools like rsync or WinSCP .

The goal is to be able to launch the tool, and develop without thinking of transferring the files to your host for testing.

Requirement

You have to have the ssh connection up and running for this tools to work. You must already be able to ssh from you source host to you destination WITHOUT ANY LOGGIN NEEDED and scp a file the same way.

For example if you start from a windows host, the file ~/.ssh/config must contains the hosts you want to scp to.

Limitations

Scale

Since it only use ssh, scp and the recursive-watch package, it's not made for huge data transfert or batch modification in a tree. it's more of a send the change you've made to a file while developping a small to moderate sized project.
