   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

     I solved it in the end with a simple "pscp file.dat foone@remote:" and having to type the fucking password in again

     but this is windows, I want to click and drag and not TYPE THINGS

     admittedly this is not usually my sort of jam but today I barely have use of all my hands and one of them is engloved so I am not in the mood for typing commands

     amusingly, typing text is fine. english has spellcheckers and they're fixing a lot of the problems with my typing right now

     but unix commands do not get spellchecked and my current typing style is very much not the kind you want when any mistyped character could cause the command to fille my hard drive with cottage cheese or something

     the funny part is that one of my hobbies is making weird keyboards. I could totally make a keyboard I type with my feet or something, which wouldn't be stopped by my current hand-problems.

     except I can't go make a keyboard when I'm currently disabled!

     @foone@digipres.club one of the putty forks (maybe kitty? Don't remember) has something similar, a "send file with scp" option in the context menu!

     @spacekatia yeah. but the specific thing I'm annoyed by is the fact that that means reauthenticating to the server.
     I already have a perfectly good SSH connection to the server, I should be able to send files over that link

     @foone i might be too linux minded, but isn't that what scp is for? (and i think putty has pscp for the same purpose o.o)

     @foone Some terminals provide functionality like this via Zmodem - you drag a file into the window and it types something like “rz file name” into the session and then pipes it in. I think at least iTerm2 on the Mac does this.

     @jordan yeah! I'm saying that would be cool to add onto putty.
