aim

aim [options] source [destination] [checksum]

aim is a command-line download and upload tool with resume capabilities, positioned as an alternative to aria2 for users who do not need torrent support. It supports HTTP(S), FTP, SFTP, SSH, and S3 protocols, with resume support for HTTP(S), FTP, and SFTP transfers. The action (download or upload) is determined by the order of parameters.
Written in Rust, aim features interactive fuzzy-search navigation of remote directories, automatic archive decompression, SHA256 checksum verification, folder sharing over HTTP, pipe-compatible output, and support for .netrc and AWS credentials for authentication.
