someone should figure out how to make it so that if you drag and drop a file into an SSH session (like in putty), it automatically creates some kind of tunnel (over SFTP or something?) and transfers the file
I'm tired of being SSH'd into a system and realizing I need to copy 1 file, so now I need to authenticate to SFTP or set up filezilla or something
like maybe you drag-drop a file onto putty, it runs the unix equivalent of "COPY CON FILENAME.DAT" and then types in the file for you.
but with dynamic tunnels and binary transfers and not plaintext
if I had the normal number of working hands and the ability to sit at a desk right now I'd code this shit up as a proof of concept
but frankly it's one of those annoying catch-22s: I'm currently disabled and wishing for accommodations. they're accommodations I'm entirely capable of coding myself, assuming I wasn't currently disabled!
but the #1 part I want is "no reauthenticating"
it should use the already-authenticated channel I have open
@foone > use the already-authenticated channel I have open
Is there an equivalent of SSH "ControlMaster" on Windows? Because on linux that's exaclty how I reuse open channels to rsync or scp (and as a bonus: this make autocomplete work on remote paths, even without a ssh key in the key agent).
Also I think I vaguely remember that Filezilla can use PuTTY's key agent. (so it will open a diffetent channel, but reuse the already loaded SSH key).
And at worst: there's always Zmodem
