Features
Everything a file transfer client should be.
Built for people who move files every day: developers deploying sites, admins tending servers, teams living in buckets.
Every protocol you use
One client for your servers, your NAS and your buckets.
- SFTP
- Password, SSH keys (Ed25519, ECDSA, RSA, encrypted or not), the SSH agent including Pageant, and two-factor prompts.
- FTP and FTPS
- Explicit and implicit TLS, passive and active mode, MLSD with a LIST fallback for older servers, resume in both directions.
- WebDAV and WebDAVS
- Basic and Digest authentication, Nextcloud and ownCloud addresses, ranged downloads for resume.
- Amazon S3 and compatibles
- Buckets as folders, multipart uploads, automatic bucket regions, custom endpoints for R2, Wasabi, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces and more.
A browser built for two
See both ends of a transfer at once.
- Dual pane
- Local and remote side by side, or two different servers for direct server-to-server copies.
- Tabs
- Open any folder in a new tab; each tab keeps its own folder and history while you work elsewhere.
- Fast with huge folders
- Virtualised lists stay smooth with tens of thousands of entries. Sort by name, size or date; filter as you type.
- Everything a right-click away
- Get Info, rename, duplicate, new file or folder, copy path, permissions, delete.
- Drag and drop
- Drop files in from Finder or Explorer, drag between panes to copy, drag within a server to move.
- Keyboard first
- Arrow-key navigation, ⌘F filter, ⌘I info, ⌘D duplicate, ⌘T tabs, ⌘→ to send the selection to the other pane.
Transfers you can trust
A queue that survives dropped connections, sleep and restarts.
- Pause, resume, retry
- Per job, at any time. Dropped connections are retried automatically and continue from the last byte.
- Survives quitting
- The queue is saved as it runs. Reopen BlazeSCP and interrupted transfers are waiting, ready to resume.
- Conflict rules
- Overwrite, skip, keep both, resume, or replace only when newer, chosen once for the whole transfer.
- Server-side copy
- Copies within the same S3, WebDAV or local disk happen on the server, without the data passing through your machine.
- Verify after transfer
- Size check on every file, and a SHA-256 comparison where both sides can hash (your computer, SSH servers with shell access).
- Bandwidth and parallelism
- A shared speed limit for all transfers and 1 to 16 files at once, adjustable while transfers run.
Get connected faster
From a URL or your existing SSH setup to an open folder in seconds.
- Quick Connect
- ⌘K, type sftp://user@host, done. Nothing is saved unless you choose to keep the server.
- Import from ~/.ssh/config
- Your Host entries become servers, with their users, ports and keys.
- sftp:// links
- Links in your browser or chat open straight in BlazeSCP.
- Groups
- Organise servers into folders in the sidebar; connection status at a glance.
Cloud extras
The S3 features you'd otherwise open a console for.
- Share links
- Copy a presigned download link to any object, valid for 24 hours.
- Create buckets
- New folders at the top level are new buckets.
- Region detection
- Buckets in any region just work from one account.
Works with your AI assistant
A local MCP server, so assistants can use BlazeSCP for you.
- Claude, Gemini, Codex and more
- Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Claude Desktop, Cursor and any other MCP client. Settings gives the exact setup command.
- Servers on request
- Ask your assistant to list, add or edit servers, look inside a connected server, or check on transfers.
- Stays on your computer
- The server only listens locally, needs a token, and refuses web pages. Passwords can be set but are never read back.
- Read-only if you prefer
- Turn off Allow changes and assistants can look but not touch. Or turn the server off entirely.
Native on every desktop
Built in Rust with Tauri: small, fast and memory-safe.
- macOS, Windows, Linux
- Apple silicon and Intel; Windows 10 and 11 on x64 and ARM64; .deb and .rpm for amd64 and arm64.
- Light and dark
- Follows your system theme.
- Notifications
- Hear when a long transfer finishes while you're in another app.
- Automatic updates
- Signed, checked in the background, installed only when you say so.
