What's new in Paste2SSH

• Uploads now go to /tmp on the server by default, which it clears on its own — so there's nothing to clean up.
• The automatic remote-deletion setting has been removed (no longer needed). You can still set a custom remote folder per host.

• An "Update available" card now appears in the sidebar when a new version is ready — matching the app's colors — so you don't have to check manually.

• The "update available" prompt now shows concise release notes for the new version, instead of the full changelog page.

Paste2SSH now updates itself. New versions download quietly in the background and install when you relaunch — no more manually re-downloading. You can also check anytime from the menu bar or Settings.

• Background checks with signed, one-click updates (powered by Sparkle).
• "Check for Updates…" in the menu bar, plus a version line in Settings.
• Heads-up: this first auto-update build still needs a one-time manual download — every update after it is automatic.

Fixes a bug where uploads could fail with "the remote upload directory is not writable" even when the server was perfectly fine, and would stay stuck until you restarted the app.

• The connection-reuse cache now repairs itself automatically if macOS clears it, instead of staying wedged until a restart.
• More accurate error messages: a dropped network or VPN connection (e.g. Tailscale) now says so and suggests retrying, instead of blaming the remote folder.

Paste2SSH is now signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it installs and opens cleanly, with no "unidentified developer" or "can't be checked for malware" warnings. The gap since v0.4 was two weeks waiting on Apple Developer Program enrollment.

• Works on more servers: uploads automatically fall back for hosts without modern SFTP (e.g. dropbear).
• Large files no longer time out early over slow links.
• Clearer error messages when SSH fails. Whether it's a changed host key, a full remote disk, too many keys offered, or a firewall/fail2ban block, each one tells you what to do next.
• Sturdier remote cleanup: never blocks an upload, and works on servers without cron.
• UI polish throughout.

• Drag & drop any file, not just screenshots, onto the window to upload it and copy its remote path. Drop several at once and get all their paths.
• Instant uploads: the connection stays warm, so every upload after the first lands in a fraction of a second.
• Launch at login (optional toggle in Settings).
• Menu-bar status: the icon shows when Paste Mode is on and gives a quick pulse on each upload.

• Automatic remote cleanup: optionally delete old images on the server after 7 to 90 days, scoped only to your upload folder.
• Recent Paths: every uploaded path is saved; click any to copy it again.
• More host control: add and edit SSH connections in-app, and set a remote folder per host.

• A native macOS menu-bar + Dock app for the screenshot → remote-path workflow.
• Turn on Paste Mode, take or copy a screenshot, and the remote path is on your clipboard, ready to paste.
• Automatically picks up the hosts in your existing ~/.ssh/config.

• Where it started: a small CLI that uploaded a copied image or screenshot to your SSH host over scp and printed back the remote path to paste into your terminal tools.
