transmit-2-ssh-config v2.1.0

Transmit favorites to SSH config

This package is born because I was bored to keep both my SSH config file and Transmit favorites in sync, filling twice the same informations over and over.

It will add all your Transmit 5 SFTP favorites into an SSH config file.

Install

npm install -g transmit-2-ssh-config

or

yarn global add transmit-2-ssh-config

Usage

t2sc

Additional notes

• You have to allow access to Transmit on the first run.
• If you don't have a ~/.ssh/config file, it will be created for you.
• Only SFTP favorites are synchronized to the SSH config file.
• Existing config, hosts in your SSH config file will be preserved, Transmit favorites are safely added, updated or deleted.

Caveats

Since Transmit 5, you can't get favorite folders so beware to have unique Host names. Since 2.0.0, you can manually add a slash to your favorite to mimick folders.

Third party stuff to consider

SSH config completion

I strongly recommend, if not using it already, to add this line to your .bash_profile:

# Add tab completion for SSH hostnames based on ~/.ssh/config, ignoring wildcards
[ -e "$HOME/.ssh/config" ] && complete -o "default" -o "nospace" -W "$(grep "^Host" ~/.ssh/config | grep -v "[?*]" | cut -d " " -f2- | tr ' ' '\n')" scp sftp ssh;

You can quickly access your SSH config file hosts with the excellent Shuttle app.
