About:
trzsz is a command-line file transfer tool designed as a modern alternative to lrzsz (rz/sz).

Binary-safe file transfer protocol
Progress indicator during file transfer

Use Cases:

Automating file transfers in shell scripts

Alternatives:

scp – Requires SSH access; trzsz works over any interactive shell session.
sftp – Requires a dedicated SFTP server; trzsz works over standard terminals.
