 ### Host Verification
 
 `hostFingerprint` compares the server host key SHA-256 fingerprint. `knownHostsFile` supports plain OpenSSH `known_hosts` entries for exact host names. When neither is supplied, `scp-next` reads `~/.ssh/known_hosts`. Hashed host names and every OpenSSH marker variant are not currently parsed.

+# Introducing scp-next v1.0.14
+
+`scp-next` is an SCP-style CLI and TypeScript library for secure file transfers over SSH.
+It keeps familiar `upload <source> <destination>` and `download <source> <destination>`
+commands while using SFTP internally through `ssh2-sftp-client`.
+
+Version 1.0.14 focuses on production polish: clearer documentation, safer daily defaults,
+better path behavior, and a cleaner project footprint.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Upload and download files or directories recursively.
+- Use the CLI with clear `<source> <destination>` operands.
+- Use the library from ESM `import` or CommonJS `require`.
+- Configure transfers with JSON files, named profiles, jobs, and environment variables.
+- Reuse a transfer client across multiple operations.
+- Create missing destination directories by default.
+- Disable destination directory creation with `--no-create-directories`.
+- Preview operations with `--dry-run`.
+- Keep secrets redacted from logs and errors.
+
+## Install
+
+CLI:
+
+```bash
+npm install --global scp-next
+```
+
+Library:
+
+```bash
+npm install scp-next
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Upload with password authentication:
+
+```bash
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example \
+  --host your-host \
+  --username your-username \
+  --password your-password \
+  --recursive
+```
+
+Password arguments are convenient, but they may be exposed through shell history and process
+listings. Prefer environment variables, SSH agents, or protected private-key files for shared
+or production environments.
+
+Download with password authentication:
+
+```bash
+scp-next download /var/log/example.log ./logs/example.log \
+  --host your-host \
+  --username your-username \
+  --password your-password
+```
+
+## Library Usage
+
+ESM upload:
+
+```ts
+import { upload } from "scp-next";
+
+await upload({
+  host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+  username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+  password: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PASSWORD,
+  localPath: "./dist",
+  remotePath: "/var/www/example",
+  recursive: true,
+  overwrite: true
+});
+```
+
+Reusable client:
+
+```ts
+import { createClient } from "scp-next";
+
+const client = createClient({
+  host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+  username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+  password: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PASSWORD
+});
+
+try {
+  await client.connect();
+  await client.upload("./dist", "/var/www/example", { recursive: true });
+  await client.download("/var/log/example.log", "./logs/example.log");
+} finally {
+  await client.close();
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+The CLI searches for:
+
+```text
+scp-next.config.json
+.scp-nextrc
+.scp-nextrc.json
+```
+
+You can also pass an explicit path:
+
+```bash
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example \
+  --config ./scp-next.config.json \
+  --profile production
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "profiles": {
+    "production": {
+      "host": "your-host",
+      "username": "your-username",
+      "privateKeyFile": "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
+    }
+  },
+  "jobs": {
+    "deploy": {
+      "operation": "upload",
+      "profile": "production",
+      "source": "./dist",
+      "destination": "/var/www/example",
+      "recursive": true,
+      "overwrite": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Run the configured job:
+
+```bash
+scp-next run deploy
+```
+
+## What's New in v1.0.14
+
+- Added GitHub Pages developer documentation.
+- Expanded README sections for quick start, basic usage, library usage, and advanced usage.
+- Added complete CLI, library, and configuration option references to the docs site.
+- Improved SCP-style destination behavior for file and directory transfers.
+- Made missing destination directory creation the default behavior.
+- Added `--no-create-directories` as the explicit opt-out.
+- Improved host verification guidance and typical-fix messaging.
+- Improved Git Bash remote path restoration for Windows users.
+- Reduced noisy duplicate progress output.
+- Removed unused legacy tooling and Docker configuration files.
+
+## Security Notes
+
+`scp-next` is designed for security-conscious transfer workflows:
+
+- Normal transfers use SFTP and do not execute remote shell commands.
+- Passwords, passphrases, private-key contents, and tokens are redacted from logs and errors.
+- Host verification uses `hostFingerprint`, `knownHostsFile`, or `~/.ssh/known_hosts`.
+- Local paths use OS-aware path behavior, while remote paths preserve POSIX `/` separators.
+- Credentials are never persisted automatically.
+
+## Transfer Terminology
+
+The CLI uses standard `<source> <destination>` order:
+
+```text
+Operation  Source  Destination
+Upload     Local   Remote
+Download   Remote  Local
+```
+
+The TypeScript API uses `localPath` and `remotePath` so application code stays explicit.
+
+`scp-next` v1.0.14 is ready for command-line transfers, deployment scripts, and Node.js
+applications that need SSH file transfer without custom protocol implementation.

+
+## 前言
+
+`scp-next` 是一个 SCP 风格的 npm 包。他同时提供命令行工具和库，用于通过 SSH 安全传输文件。虽然包名包含 SCP，实际使用 SFTP，不会为普通传输执行远程 Shell 命令。
+
+## 适合谁使用
+
+如果你需要在部署脚本、CI 流程或 Node.js 应用中传输文件，`scp-next` 可以减少重复封装。常见场景如下:
+
+- 将本地构建产物上传到服务器。
+- 从服务器下载日志或产物。
+- 用配置文件管理不同服务器环境。
+- 在应用代码中复用同一个传输客户端。
+
+## 安装方式
+
+全局安装后，可以直接使用 `scp-next` 命令。
+
+```bash
+npm install --global scp-next
+```
+
+作为项目依赖安装后，可以在 Node.js 代码中导入 API。
+
+```bash
+npm install scp-next
+```
+
+如果一个项目只在脚本里调用命令行工具，也可以把他安装到项目依赖中，再通过 `npx scp-next` 或 npm scripts 调用。
+
+## 先理解传输方向
+
+命令行统一使用 `<source> <destination>` 两个位置参数。
+
+```text
+scp-next upload <source> <destination> [options]
+scp-next download <source> <destination> [options]
+scp-next run <job> [source] [destination] [options]
+```
+
+方向规则如下:
+
+| Operation | Source | Destination |
+| --------- | ------ | ----------- |
+| Upload    | Local  | Remote      |
+| Download  | Remote | Local       |
+
+## 命令行快速开始
+
+上传本地目录到远程服务器。
+
+```bash
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example \
+  --host your-host \
+  --username your-username \
+  --password your-password \
+  --recursive
+```
+
+下载远程文件到本地目录。如果目标目录不存在，`scp-next` 默认会创建目录。这符合日常 `cp` 和 `scp` 风格的使用习惯。可以用 `--no-create-directories` 关闭该行为。
+
+```bash
+scp-next download /var/log/example.log ./logs/example.log \
+  --host your-host \
+  --username your-username \
+  --password your-password
+```
+
+先预览上传计划，而不连接服务器。`--dry-run` 会解析配置并检查本地路径。他不会连接远程服务器，也不会修改本地或远程文件。
+
+```bash
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example \
+  --host your-host \
+  --username your-username \
+  --password your-password \
+  --recursive \
+  --dry-run
+```
+
+## 推荐的凭据写法
+
+命令行密码参数适合本地快速试用。
+
+```bash
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example \
+  --host your-host \
+  --username your-username \
+  --password your-password \
+  --recursive
+```
+
+共享环境和生产环境建议使用环境变量。这样可以降低密码进入 Shell 历史记录或进程列表的风险。
+
+```bash
+export SCP_NEXT_HOST="your-host"
+export SCP_NEXT_USERNAME="your-username"
+export SCP_NEXT_PASSWORD="your-password"
+
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example --recursive
+```
+
+也可以使用受保护的私钥文件。
+
+```bash
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example \
+  --host your-host \
+  --username your-username \
+  --private-key-file ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 \
+  --recursive
+```

+  },
+  "jobs": {
+    "deploy": {
+      "operation": "upload",
+      "profile": "production",
+      "source": "./dist",
+      "destination": "/var/www/example",

+
+运行配置好的上传任务。
+
+```bash
+scp-next run deploy
+```
+
+运行配置好的下载任务。
+
+```bash
+scp-next run download-logs
+```
+
+`run` 命令也支持临时覆盖路径。
+
+```bash
+scp-next run deploy ./dist-canary /var/www/canary
+```
+
+配置优先级从高到低如下。
+
+1. 显式 CLI 选项
+2. 位置参数
+3. 环境变量
+4. 选中的配置 profile
+5. 根级配置值
+6. 配置的 job 值
+7. 内部默认值
+
+不要把包含真实密码的配置文件提交到 Public 仓库。共享仓库和部署环境应优先使用 `SCP_NEXT_PASSWORD` 或受保护的密钥文件。
+
+## 库 API 用法
+
+ESM 项目可以直接导入 `upload`。
+
+```ts
+import { upload } from "scp-next";
+
+await upload({
+  host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+  username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+  password: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PASSWORD,
+  localPath: "./dist",
+  remotePath: "/var/www/example",
+  recursive: true,
+  overwrite: true
+});
+```
+
+CommonJS 项目可以使用 `require`。
+
+```js
+const { download } = require("scp-next");
+
+async function main() {
+  await download({
+    host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+    username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+    password: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PASSWORD,
+    remotePath: "/var/log/example.log",
+    localPath: "./logs/example.log"
+  });
+}
+
+main().catch((error) => {
+  console.error(error.message);
+  process.exitCode = 1;
+});
+```
+
+如果一次连接内要执行多个操作，可以创建可复用客户端。
+
+```ts
+import { createClient } from "scp-next";
+
+const client = createClient({
+  host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+  username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+  password: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PASSWORD
+});
+
+try {
+  await client.connect();
+  await client.upload("./dist", "/var/www/example", { recursive: true });
+  await client.download("/var/log/example.log", "./logs/example.log");
+} finally {
+  await client.close();
+}
+```
+
+主要导出如下。
+
+```ts
+upload(options);
+download(options);
+createClient(options);
+copy(options);
+```
+
+错误类型包含稳定的 `code`、可读的 `message` 和经过脱敏的上下文。常见错误包括 `ConfigurationError`、`AuthenticationError`、`ConnectionError`、`TransferError` 和 `HostVerificationError`。
+
+## 主机验证
+
+`scp-next` 支持通过 `hostFingerprint` 或 `knownHostsFile` 验证主机。如果没有显式配置，他会读取 `~/.ssh/known_hosts`。
+
+在 CI 或部署环境中，如果没有可用的 known-hosts 文件，建议配置 `hostFingerprint`。如果无法建立主机验证，`scp-next` 会失败退出。
+
+## 新人接手清单
+
+接手项目时，可以按以下顺序验证。
+
+1. 确认 Node.js 版本不低于 18.18.0。
+2. 使用 `npm install --global scp-next` 安装 CLI。
+3. 用 `scp-next upload ... --dry-run` 验证参数和路径。
+
+掌握这几项后，就可以把 `scp-next` 用于日常部署脚本、日志下载任务和 Node.js 文件传输流程。

+# Introducing scp-next v1.0.2
+
+`scp-next` is an SCP-style command-line tool and TypeScript library for secure file transfers
+over SSH. It keeps the familiar upload/download workflow while using SFTP internally through
+`ssh2-sftp-client`, avoiding custom protocol code and normal remote shell execution.
+
+## Why scp-next
+
+File transfer tools often start simple and become harder to manage once deployments need
+profiles, dry runs, recursive directories, secret handling, and reusable application code.
+`scp-next` is built for that middle ground: easy to run from a terminal, but structured enough
+to use safely in scripts, CI, and Node.js applications.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Upload and download files or directories recursively.
+- Use clear CLI operands: `<source> <destination>`.
+- Import the library from ESM or CommonJS projects.
+- Configure servers with JSON files, named profiles, jobs, or environment variables.
+- Preview operations with dry-run mode before connecting.
+- Track transfer progress when supported by the SFTP client.
+- Control overwrites, timeouts, and destination directory creation.
+- Redact passwords, passphrases, and private-key contents from logs and errors.
+- Reuse a transfer client across multiple upload and download operations.
+
+## Install
+
+Global CLI installation:
+
+```bash
+npm install --global scp-next
+```
+
+Library installation:
+
+```bash
+npm install scp-next
+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+Uploads treat `source` as local and `destination` as remote:
+
+```bash
+scp-next upload ./dist /var/www/example \
+  --host example.com \
+  --username deploy \
+  --private-key-file ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 \
+  --recursive \
+  --create-directories
+```
+
+Downloads treat `source` as remote and `destination` as local:
+
+```bash
+scp-next download /var/log/example.log ./logs/example.log \
+  --host example.com \
+  --username deploy \
+  --private-key-file ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 \
+  --create-directories
+```
+
+Run a configured job:
+
+```bash
+scp-next run deploy
+```
+
+## Library Usage
+
+ESM:
+
+```ts
+import { upload } from "scp-next";
+
+await upload({
+  host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+  username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+  privateKeyFile: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE,
+  localPath: "./dist",
+  remotePath: "/var/www/example",
+  recursive: true,
+  overwrite: true
+});
+```
+
+CommonJS:
+
+```js
+const { download } = require("scp-next");
+
+await download({
+  host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+  username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+  privateKeyFile: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE,
+  remotePath: "/var/log/example.log",
+  localPath: "./logs/example.log"
+});
+```
+
+Reusable client:
+
+```ts
+import { createClient } from "scp-next";
+
+const client = createClient({
+  host: process.env.SCP_NEXT_HOST,
+  username: process.env.SCP_NEXT_USERNAME,
+  privateKeyFile: process.env.SCP_NEXT_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE
+});
+
+try {
+  await client.connect();
+  await client.upload("./dist", "/var/www/example", { recursive: true });
+  await client.download("/var/log/example.log", "./logs/example.log");
+} finally {
+  await client.close();
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+`scp-next` supports `scp-next.config.json`, `.scp-nextrc`, `.scp-nextrc.json`, or an explicit
+`--config` path.
+
+```json
+{
+  "profiles": {
+    "production": {
+      "host": "production.example.com",
+      "username": "deploy",
+      "privateKeyFile": "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
+    }
+  },
+  "jobs": {
+    "deploy": {
+      "operation": "upload",
+      "profile": "production",
+      "source": "./dist",
+      "destination": "/var/www/example",
+      "recursive": true,
+      "overwrite": true,
+      "createDirectories": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+`scp-next` is designed to make safer defaults and patterns easy:
+
+- Prefer environment variables, SSH agents, or protected private-key files over CLI password
+  arguments.
+- Passwords, passphrases, and private-key contents are redacted from logs and error context.
+- Host verification uses `hostFingerprint`, `knownHostsFile`, or `~/.ssh/known_hosts`.
+- Remote paths are handled with POSIX rules, while local paths use the current operating
+  system's path behavior.
+- Normal transfers use SFTP and do not execute remote shell commands.
+
+## Transfer Terminology
+
+The CLI uses the standard `<source> <destination>` order:
+
+```text
+Operation  Source  Destination
+Upload     Local   Remote
+Download   Remote  Local
+```
+
+The TypeScript API uses explicit `localPath` and `remotePath` names for upload and download
+calls, so application code does not need to infer path locality from transfer direction.
+
+## What's Included in v1.0.2
+
+- CLI commands for upload, download, and configured jobs.
+- ESM, CommonJS, and TypeScript declaration outputs.
+- Recursive directory transfers.
+- Dry-run support.
+- Configuration files, profiles, jobs, and environment variables.
+- Typed errors and validation for common configuration, filesystem, connection, and transfer
+  failures.
+- Mockable transport architecture for tests and future integration coverage.
+
+`scp-next` v1.0.2 is ready for CLI workflows, deployment scripts, and Node.js applications that
+need secure SSH file transfers without hand-rolled protocol logic.
