Summary

There is no built-in Graphical User Interface (GUI) client for scp on Mac OS X.

There for this tutorial demonstrates how to configure your Mac for GUI based scp.

Requirements

1. Mac OS X 10.4.X+
2. Built-in Terminal Application
3. SSH-Agent GUI Client - Download
4. Fugu GUI SCP Client - Download

Configuration

Please follow the steps below.

Install Fugu

Once you have installed Fugu simply enter the server name in the Connect field and the port number in the Port field. (This should usually be port 22.)

If everything worked correctly and your public-key has been properly configured on the server Fugu should work with SSH-Agent to give you GUI based access to the server.
