Rex adds cross-device file transfer

Rex now lets developers drag and drop or copy/paste files between connected devices, making it easy to ship binaries, screenshots, and test artifacts to remote machines and AI agents across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

// ANALYSIS

This turns Rex from a remote terminal into a more complete command center for multi-machine development.

–Shortens the build-test-debug loop by removing manual SCP, cloud storage, and chat-based file handoffs
–Makes screenshot and artifact sharing practical for remote Codex, Claude Code, and other terminal agents
–Strengthens Rex’s positioning as a self-hosted alternative to the SSH-plus-tmux workflow
–Security remains important: remote connections and anonymous listeners need carefully scoped access controls
