~/.local/bin/hopPick a server from your SSH config or history. Each entry shows its alias and user@hostname, so you know where you're connecting.
Already know the destination? Run hop my-server or hop user@hostname.
To try the interface without connecting, run hop demo.
- Open the destination folder in one panel.
- Press Tab to switch to the source panel.
- Use the arrow keys and Space to select files or folders.
- Press c to copy them across.
Works in either direction. With nothing selected, c copies the item under the cursor. Hop asks before replacing existing files.
