Quick Start

# Ubuntu/Debian
wget https://github.com/mart337i/sx/releases/latest/download/sx_latest_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i sx_latest_all.deb

# Fedora/RHEL (replace filename with the one from the release page)
wget https://github.com/mart337i/sx/releases/latest
sudo dnf install sx-*.noarch.rpm

# Arch Linux (AUR)
yay -S sx

# From source (hotkey integration set up automatically)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mart337i/sx/main/install.sh | bash

Enable global hotkey (package installs only — source installs configure this automatically):

echo '[[ -r /usr/share/sx/sx-integration.sh ]] && source /usr/share/sx/sx-integration.sh' >> ~/.bashrc

Import

FileZilla

# 1. Export from FileZilla
FileZilla → File → Export → Save as sites.xml

# 2. Import
sx --import sites.xml

SSH Config

# Import default config
sx --ssh-config

# Import custom config
sx --ssh-config ~/work/ssh-config

Folder Support: FileZilla exports with nested folders are fully supported.

Legacy sx storage

# Convert ~/.config/sx/servers into ~/.ssh/config.d/sx.conf
sx --migrate

The legacy ~/.config/sx/servers file is left untouched as a backup.

---

Configuration

Servers are stored as normal SSH config in: ~/.ssh/config.d/sx.conf

sx adds this include to ~/.ssh/config when needed:

Include ~/.ssh/config.d/sx.conf

Because entries are standard SSH config, aliases work directly with ssh:

ssh myserver

Custom hotkey:

export SX_KEY_BINDING='\C-x'  # Change to Ctrl+X

File format:

# sx-name: Production Server
Host production-server
    HostName 192.168.1.10
    User admin
    Port 22
