Paste2SSH for Linux

An early alpha build. The core works — copy a screenshot, it uploads to your SSH server and swaps your clipboard for the remote path, same as the Mac app, reading your ~/.ssh/config. But it's young: expect rough edges, and updates are manual for now. Bug reports are very welcome.

Run it

Make it executable and launch:

chmod +x Paste2SSH-x86_64.AppImage ./Paste2SSH-x86_64.AppImage

No install, no package manager — it's a single self-contained file. If your distro doesn't ship FUSE, run it without extraction like this:

./Paste2SSH-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

Requires x86_64 Linux with a desktop environment (system-tray support recommended).

Good to know

  • It's alpha. The Linux build passes its CI (upload over real SSH, headless boot, AppImage build), but it hasn't been battle-tested across distros — if something looks off, please tell us.
  • No auto-update yet. Unlike the Mac app, it won't update itself. To get a newer build, re-download the AppImage from the releases page.
  • A couple of behaviors differ from macOS by design (e.g. remote cleanup of old uploads). Everything else mirrors the Mac feature set.

Found a bug?

The Linux version has its own repository. Please open an issue on GitHub — include your distro, desktop environment, and what you expected. You can also browse the source.
