syq
Fast, safe, programmable file motion
syq is a fast, safe, and programmable file motion tool designed for copying, reorganizing, and removing files locally or across machines. It solves the friction of moving and managing data between servers and local development environments by offering features like interrupted transfer resumption, direct server-to-server transfers, and remote command execution without requiring an SSH server or incoming network port on your laptop.
Built for developers and system administrators, syq can be scripted using a JSON API or a Python SDK, and it even supports an rsync-compatible prefix command for an easy transition from existing workflows.
Use Cases
- Developers sending files from a server to their laptop
- Engineers running builds or opening artifacts on a desktop from a server
- Administrators performing remote-to-remote file copies between two servers
- Users renaming and reorganizing files during a copy operation
- Teams automating file movement and reading results using Python scripts
