Coolftp tools (18, 7 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • coolftp_deletewrite action

    Delete a remote file or directory. Refuses to delete the site root. The coolFTP app asks the user to approve when it is open. …

  • coolftp_deploywrite action

    Upload the project's changed files to its web server. Runs the configured build first. Use dryRun to preview, delete to remove stale remote files, commit to git-commit before deploying. The result says whether the site verified as live; only call it live when verify.ok is true. Previous versions of changed files stay on the server so coolftp_undo can revert.

  • coolftp_diff

    Preview a deploy: which files would be added, changed or are stale on the server. Uploads nothing. Long lists are summarised by folder.

  • coolftp_download

    Download a remote file or directory to a local path. …

  • coolftp_history

    Recent deploys for a site, newest first, with git commit, which agent did it, whether the live checks passed, and whether it can be undone.

  • coolftp_init

    Link a project directory to a site by writing .coolftp.json. Do this once so later deploys need no site argument.

  • coolftp_ls

    List a remote directory. …

  • coolftp_mkdirwrite action

    Create a remote directory (and parents). …

  • coolftp_read

    Read a text file from the server (up to 512 KB). …

  • coolftp_rename

    Rename or move a remote path. …

  • coolftp_rollbackwrite action

    Put the server back to an earlier deploy's git commit. With no target, restores the previous commit that was live for this project. Requires git; for a quick revert of the last deploy without git use coolftp_undo. The coolFTP app asks the user to approve when it is open.

  • coolftp_sites

    List the servers saved in coolFTP (name, host, protocol, remote root). Secrets are never returned.

  • coolftp_stat

    Check whether a remote path exists and get its type, size and date, without downloading it. …

  • coolftp_status

    Show which site the current project deploys to, whether the coolFTP desktop app is running (calls route through it when it is), and live connections.

  • coolftp_undowrite action

    Put back the previous versions the last deploy set aside on the server: overwritten files are restored, files it added are removed, files it deleted come back. Needs no git. Use dryRun to see what it would do. The coolFTP app asks the user to approve when it is open.

  • coolftp_uploadwrite action

    Upload a local file or directory to a remote path. The server confirms each file's size afterwards, and files inside the project's remote directory are recorded in the deploy manifest so the next deploy does not send them again. …

  • coolftp_verify

    Fetch the project's public URL and the files of the last deploy (or the given paths) and report status codes, plus whether static files are being served with the local bytes. Deploys nothing.

  • coolftp_writewrite action

    Write text content to a file on the server, creating parent directories. …

What the publisher says

From the Coolftp repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

coolFTP

The FTP client your coding agent can drive. A desktop SFTP / FTPS / FTP client for Windows, plus a CLI and an MCP server, built for people who write code with Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor and still have to get files onto a web server.

Say "deploy this". The agent calls coolFTP. Only files whose content changed go up, the git commit is recorded next to the deploy, the site is fetched afterward to prove it answers, and you watch every step live in the app. If it went wrong, coolftp undo puts the previous version back, no git needed. Works with any host that speaks SFTP or FTP: Hostinger, HostGator, Bluehost, GoDaddy, any cPanel box, your own VPS. Free and MIT. Website: coolftp.com.

Agents ask before they delete anything:

Why

Every FTP client assumes a human is clicking. coolFTP assumes a human is watching and an agent is doing.

  • Hash-based deploys. A manifest on the server records the SHA-256 of every deployed file. Timestamps lie; hashes do not.
  • Undo, no git needed. Every deploy moves the files it overwrites or deletes into a backup folder on the server first. coolftp undo puts them back, even from a dirty tree.
  • Deploy history with git. Each deploy stores the commit, branch, dirty flag, message, byte count, which agent ran it, and whether the site verified live.
  • One-command rollback. coolftp rollback restores the previous live commit through a temporary git worktree.
  • Verification. Give a site its public URL and every deploy fetches the changed pages, compares static files byte for byte with what you uploaded, and exits non-zero when the site does not answer. coolftp verify does the same on demand.
  • Live agent feed and approval dialog. Deletes, --delete deploys, rollbacks and undos wait for your click while the app is open. Deploys show as a progress card, and a Windows notification tells you how they ended.
  • Safety by default. Pinned SSH host keys, passwords encrypted with your Windows account, a first-deploy guard that refuses to delete files it never uploaded, changed files swapped into place rather than overwritten, sizes confirmed by the server, resumable deploys.
packages/core   shared TypeScript library: transports, sites, hash manifest, sync, deploy

Install

The CLI and the MCP server run anywhere Node 18 or newer does: Windows, macOS, Linux, a headless box, CI.

npm i -g coolftp
coolftp --version

No install at all: npx coolftp ... runs the same thing.

The desktop app is Windows for now: the installer, a portable .exe and the Claude Desktop extension (.mcpb) are on the download page with their SHA-256s.

Build from source

npm install
npm run build
npm run app          # opens the desktop app
node packages/cli/dist/coolftp.js --help

To get a global coolftp command from this checkout instead of npm: cd packages/cli && npm link.

Add a server

# SFTP with your existing ~/.ssh key or the ssh-agent
coolftp site add coolftp.com --host coolftp.com --user deploy --root /var/www/html

# FTPS with a password (shared hosts)
coolftp site add oldhost --host ftp.oldhost.net --user me --protocol ftps --password '...' --root /public_html

coolftp site test coolftp.com

Or use the Sites button in the app. Sites live in %APPDATA%\coolftp\sites.json on Windows and ~/.config/coolftp/sites.json elsewhere. On Windows, passwords in that file are encrypted with DPAPI under your account; on macOS and Linux they are stored as-is until a keychain backend lands, so prefer keys for SFTP there.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
