Official docs describe it as preserving familiar OpenSSH behavior while adding login prompts, batch login, password handling, automated interaction, trzsz and zmodem transfers, reconnect mode, UDP mode, and related conveniences. ### Project history tssh grew inside the trzsz ecosystem as the recommended local-side client for trz/tsz transfers. The project pairs SSH compatibility with terminal file transfer so users do not need a terminal emulator-specific plugin to make trzsz work. ### Adoption history Official install docs note a naming split that packagers care about: the package is named `trzsz-ssh` in Homebrew but usually `tssh` elsewhere. The README and docs list Windows package managers, Homebrew, apt, Debian repository setup, dnf, yum, Arch AUR, and GitHub releases, while GitHub shows a larger star count than the lower-level trzsz repositories. ### How it is used Users run tssh as a drop-in SSH client, expecting common OpenSSH flags and config directives to work. The extra value is in interactive server selection, remembered passwords, automated login flows, integrated trzsz and rz/sz transfer support, clipboard and Wayland integration, reconnect behavior, and UDP-style network resilience. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, tssh is the more user-facing package in the trzsz family: it bundles protocol integration with a replacement SSH client and forces maintainers to map one upstream project to different package names across ecosystems. It also shows how terminal file-transfer utilities have moved from emulator plug-ins toward standalone cross-platform binaries. ### Timeline - 2026: v0.1.25 added UDP port forwarding, foreground reconnect mode, external password-manager directives, security-key support, and additional OpenSSH compatibility work. - 2026: A later development build added multiplexing master-mode support on the main branch. - 2026: Official docs continue to recommend tssh as the local client for trzsz workflows. ### Related projects - tssh is tightly related to trzsz-go and the original trzsz tools, providing the local SSH client path for their transfers. - The official site also relates it to tsshd, a UDP-based SSH server with roaming and reconnect support. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
