Download With SCP For Mac

Download With SCP is a free and open source Automator action that copies files or folders from the specified server using SCP. To copy files in the reverse direction, see the Upload with SCP action.

SCP must be able to automatically authenticate with the client, for example, using ssh public key authentication. For more information on ssh public key authentication, see for example OpenSSH Public Key Authentication.

Note that if any input files are provided, then the files or folders downloaded are added to the list of input files in the output. This allows you to use multiple Download with SCP actions to download a set of files and process them all together at the end.

WARNING: The Download With SCP Automator action may overwrite files on the local computer.
