Developer builds sshpic to paste local screenshots directly into remote SSH sessions
A developer has released sshpic, an open-source tool that streamlines sharing screenshots between a local Mac and a remote SSH session. The tool was created to eliminate the cumbersome multi-step process of saving a screenshot, transferring it via SCP, and manually pasting the remote file path into a terminal coding agent. When a user presses Cmd+V inside an iTerm2 SSH session, sshpic reads the local clipboard, uploads any image to the remote host over SSH, and inserts the resulting remote path directly into the active terminal. The tool is intentionally scoped to macOS users running iTerm2 with real SSH connections, and performs no cloud uploads nor requires any installation on the remote machine. The developer has cautioned users to be mindful of sensitive content in screenshots, such as passwords or API keys, and has invited feedback from those working with remote SSH coding-agent workflows.
