I've been trying out zssh's sz
and rz
because it seems like a quick/easy way to send files back and forth (local <-> remote) over ssh
. The problem is that I use byobu
(basically screen
) on my remote server and this somehow conflicts with the sending and receiving of files.
http://zssh.sourceforge.net/FAQ
Number 6 states that:
Beware that any program interferring (ie non transparent) with the tty/pty
chain will likely prevent file tranfers from working.
For example, running 'screen' on the REMOTE side will prevent zssh from
working properly because it will be messing things between rz and sz.
This is a total bummer because running byobu
is an essential part of my remote management toolkit and I haven't found any tool that seems as effortless as zssh
.
Can anyone think of a way to get zssh
working without having to disable byobu/screen
? I would troubleshoot it myself, but this sort of stuff is way over my head (as in, I have no clue why screen
would even conflict with a file transmission process like this, so an explanation would be extremely helpful).
Also, any alternative solutions to this problem would be appreciated.
Edit:
Wondering if there's a way to quickly drop out of byobu
, perform zssh
tasks then jump back into the previous byobu
session...
