Fast SFTP Folder Uploader

Upload folders faster via SFTP by temporarily zipping on the client and unzipping on the host.

Features

• Very useful for folders with many files and folders, like a Wordpress instance.
• It also automatically deletes the temporary ZIP files locally and remotely.
• You can also just upload an existing ZIP file, which will not be deleted locally.
• If you just want to upload a ZIP file without remote extraction and deletion just use any other SFTP client.
