A Nautilus script designed for and tested on Gnome 3.36 to enable right click action to directly scp a file or directory to a remote host via a little GUI interaction.
I am normally doing most of this in a terminal but once in a while, someone will send me something to upload to a server and I will somehow decide to look for the file with Files (nautilus) at which point, I would have to open a terminal at that location to type a scp command. With this nautilus script, I am able to instead just right click on any file or directory, select the script which initiates dialogs to select a remote host and location (path) for me to accomplish the same thing.

- 12102020 - Fixed potential permissions issues in install.sh & added open scripts folder after install
- 12092020 - Added auto add custom input to .scp_hosts and .scp_locations

Currently, this script does not account for custom ssh ports.
git clone https://github.com/hkdb/nautilus-scp.gitcd nautilus-scp./install.sh
If the "Scripts" menu item does not appear when you left click files, you may need to manually right click "SCP To..." in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts within Nautilus and add executable permissions. Some times the terminal perms are not good enough.
- ~/.scp_hosts | list of often used hosts (FQDN) separated by newlines | WARNING: DO NOT DELETE THE LINE "Specify a Custom Host..."
- ~/.scp_locations | list of often used destination paths separated by newlines | WARNING: DO NOT DELETE THE LINE "Specify a Custom Location..."
