Transferring files

Command line: scp & rsync

Copy a single file to your Mac:

scp ./build.ipa your-username@YOUR-IP:~/

Copy from the Mac back to your machine:

scp your-username@YOUR-IP:~/Logs/build.log ./

Sync a whole folder (efficient, resumable):

rsync -avz --progress ./project/ your-username@YOUR-IP:~/project/

GUI: SFTP clients

Any SFTP client works over your SSH credentials (port 22):

• Cyberduck or Transmit (macOS)
• WinSCP or FileZilla (Windows / Linux)

Connect with protocol SFTP, host YOUR-IP, your username and password (or SSH key).

Drag and drop over Screen Sharing

When connected with macOS Screen Sharing, you can drag files directly onto the remote desktop and back, and use Edit → Use Shared Clipboard to copy/paste text between machines.

Large transfers

For many small files (e.g. a build cache), zip first — one big transfer beats thousands of tiny ones:

tar czf artifacts.tgz ./DerivedData
scp artifacts.tgz your-username@YOUR-IP:~/
