UP

UP is a simple file transfer tool that acts as a drop-in replacement for scp and sftp. It sends data over HTTPS for much faster uploads without any extra setup. The client uses your existing SSH keys and reads ~/.ssh/config so you can keep working with the host aliases you already have.

Why UP?

  • Transfers are noticeably quicker than traditional scp or sftp.
  • No setup: use the same SSH keys and host aliases you already have.
  • Small client and server binaries.

Quick Start

Pre-built binaries for common operating systems are available on the releases page. Choose the download that matches your OS and architecture or build the latest development version yourself:

go build -o server ./server
go build -o up ./client

Start the server (listens on port 7966) and then upload a file:

./server

./up very_big.tar.xz localhost:7966

Uploaded files are stored under the server's files/ directory. The client will prompt to trust the server's certificate on first use and will remember it afterwards. Up is built to work behind reverse proxies like nginx.
