transmit-2-ssh-config

Transmit favorites to SSH config

Synchronize Transmit 5 SFTP favorites with your SSH config file.

Install

npm install -g transmit-2-ssh-config

Usage

CLI

t2sc

Programmatic API

import getTransmitFavorites from 'transmit-2-ssh-config';

const favorites = await getTransmitFavorites();
// Returns array of SFTP favorites with: Id, Host, HostName, User, Port, Protocol, RemotePath

Notes

• Asks for permission to control Transmit on first run
• Host aliases include the favorite folder, e.g. client/production
• Only SFTP favorites are synchronized
• Creates ~/.ssh/config and ~/.ssh/config.d/ if they don't exist
• Existing SSH config entries are preserved

Caveats

Folders are read from Transmit's internal favorites store (~/Library/Application Support/Transmit/Connections.transmitstore), which is not a public format. If it can't be read, favorites are synchronized without their folder name.

Tips

Enable SSH hostname completion by adding to .bash_profile:

[ -e "$HOME/.ssh/config" ] && complete -o "default" -o "nospace" -W "$(grep "^Host" ~/.ssh/config | grep -v "[?*]" | cut -d " " -f2- | tr ' ' '\n')" scp sftp ssh
