mellobacon

mellobacon is an independent open-source developer whose small catalogue is focused on SCPTerminal, a lightweight Windows utility that wraps the Secure Copy Protocol inside a minimalist command-line interface. Designed for network administrators, DevOps engineers, and anyone who routinely moves files between local workstations and remote Linux or BSD servers, the program presents a resizable console window that behaves like the classic cmd prompt yet understands native scp syntax, key-based authentication, and drag-and-drop file queuing. Because it keeps every transfer in the same terminal session, users can script repetitive uploads, chain commands with familiar batch operators, and capture plaintext logs for audit trails without installing a separate SFTP GUI. The executable is portable, so it can live on a thumb-drive toolkit alongside PuTTY or WinSCP and run without elevated rights, making it convenient for locked-down corporate laptops or classroom labs. Although the feature set is deliberately narrow, the author maintains active GitHub issues, accepts pull requests for IPv6 compatibility, and publishes unsigned but hash-verified releases on a predictable monthly cadence. mellobacon’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where SCPTerminal is delivered through the trusted winget repository, always installs the newest build, and can be pulled down in tandem with other packages for unattended batch setup.
