Introduction

SCP, or Secure Copy Protocol, is a method for securely transferring files between a local host and a remote host or between two remote hosts. CP2TOTO leverages SCP to provide a seamless file transfer experience, complete with interactive selection and optional file conversion to the efficient H.265 mp4 format.

Features

• Interactive File Selection: Choose exactly which files or folders you want to transfer with an easy-to-use interface.
• File Conversion: Convert your files to mp4 with H.265 codec on-the-fly for efficient storage.
• Automation: Save time with automated processes, reducing manual effort and the risk of errors.
