The extremely simple way to get files onto your server: your Mac on the left, your server on the right. Drag, drop, done. One-time purchase, no subscription.
SCPilot is an extremely simple, graphical SCP/SFTP app for the Mac.
Your Mac on the left, your server on the right. Drag files across – done. No clutter, no learning curve, no subscription.
SCPilot is made for everyone who just wants to get files onto a server: web developers, hosting customers, admins and hobbyists with a Raspberry Pi or a NAS.
SIMPLE BY DESIGN
• Two file lists side by side: local and remote
• Drag and drop between them, from the Finder and back to it
• F5 copies the selection to the other side, ".." and the Up button take you one folder up
• SCPilot remembers the folder you were in last, for every server
YOUR SERVERS, READY IN SECONDS
• Import the hosts from your SSH configuration (~/.ssh/config) with one click
• Sign in with password or SSH key (Ed25519, ECDSA, RSA, keys with passphrase)
• Create a new SSH key and install it on the server with one click
• Passwords and keys are kept in your Keychain
TERMINAL INCLUDED
• Open a shell on the server with one click – right in the folder you're viewing
• Built-in terminal, or Terminal and iTerm2 if you prefer
MORE THAN COPYING
• Edit files directly on the server in your favorite editor – every save is uploaded
• Synchronize folders with a preview: see what changes before anything happens
• Rename, delete, create folders and change permissions
• Transfer queue with speed and time left; interrupted transfers resume
SAFE
• Server fingerprints are checked, and SCPilot recognizes servers you already trust in Terminal
• Runs in the Mac App Sandbox; it only sees the folders you choose
• No tracking, no analytics, no account – your data stays on your Mac
SCPilot uses SFTP, which practically every Linux and macOS server offers.
Available in English and German. One-time purchase.
