+# Setting up CopyParty on Runpod
+
+CopyParty provides a webbased GUI that makes file management simple on Runpod instances. With its intuitive interface, you can browse directories, upload/download files, preview images and videos, and manage your Pod's filesystem without complex command-line operations.
+
+## About CopyParty
+
+CopyParty is an open-source project created that provides a portable file server with a web UI. It's perfect for managing files on cloud GPU instances where traditional file transfer methods might be cumbersome.
+
+For a video demonstration, you can watch the [creator's YouTube tutorial](https://youtu.be/15_-hgsX2V0?si=AXArKvI79LEscpNn).

+</Note>
+
+## Requirements
+
+To use CopyParty on Runpod, you need:
+- **Terminal access to your Pod** - Either through web terminal or Jupyter Labs terminal.
+- An available HTTP port on your Pod.
+
+### Verifying terminal access
+
+You can access the terminal in two ways:
+
+#### Option 1: Web terminal
+If you see this option when clicking "Connect" on your Pod page, you have web terminal access:
+![Web Terminal Access](webterminal.png)
+
+#### Option 2: JupyterLab terminal
+If you have JupyterLab installed on your Pod, you can access the terminal there:
+![JupyterLab Terminal](labsterminal.png)
+
+## Installation steps
+
+### Step 1: Access your Pod settings
+
+Navigate to your Pod page and locate the settings:
+![Edit Pod Settings](edit.png)
+
+### Step 2: Add an HTTP port
+
+<Warning>
+**Adding a new port will restart your Pod and erase any data not stored in `/workspace`**
+
+Before proceeding, ensure all important files are saved in `/workspace` or backed up elsewhere. Any installed libraries or files outside of `/workspace` will be lost.
+</Warning>
+
+Add a dedicated HTTP port for the CopyParty interface. If port 8888 is already in use (common for Jupyter), try port 8000 or another available port.
+
+![Add HTTP Port](addhttp.png)
+
+### Step 3: Install and run CopyParty
+
+Open your terminal (web terminal or Jupyter terminal) and run one of the following commands:
+
+#### Option 1: Standard installation
+Run CopyParty directly (the session will end if you close the terminal):
+
+```bash
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh && source $HOME/.local/bin/env && uv tool run copyparty -p 8000 --allow-csrf
+```
+
+Replace `-p 8000` with your chosen port number if different.
+
+#### Option 2: Background installation with tmux
+
+To keep CopyParty running even after closing the terminal, use `tmux`:
+
+```bash
+apt-get update && apt-get install tmux -y && tmux new-session -d -s copyparty 'curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh && source $HOME/.local/bin/env && uv tool run copyparty -p 8000 --allow-csrf' && tmux attach -t copyparty
+```
+
+<Info>
+**What is tmux?**
+
+`tmux` (terminal multiplexer) is a tool that lets you run terminal sessions in the background. Think of it as a way to keep programs running even after you close your terminal window, like minimizing an app instead of closing it. This is particularly useful on Runpod where you want CopyParty to keep running even if you disconnect.
+
+For a more in-depth tmux tutorial, check out this [comprehensive video guide](https://youtu.be/nTqu6w2wc68?si=OcI3qbh2kGH7_3fh).
+</Info>
+
+This command:
+1. Installs tmux (a terminal multiplexer)
+2. Creates a new tmux session named "copyparty"
+3. Runs CopyParty in the background
+4. Attaches you to the session to see the output
+
+<Tip>
+**Quick tmux Commands**
+- To detach from tmux and leave CopyParty running: Press `Ctrl+B` then `D`
+- To reattach to the session later: `tmux attach -t copyparty`
+- To stop CopyParty: Reattach and press `Ctrl+C`
+</Tip>
+
+### Step 4: Access the CopyParty interface
+
+Once CopyParty is running, click on the port number in your Runpod dashboard:
+![Access Port](port.png)
+
+## Using CopyParty
+
+### File navigation
+
+The interface displays your file system on the left side:
+![Directory View](directory.png)
+
+### Uploading files
+
+Simply drag and drop files into the interface to upload them:
+![Upload Files](upload.png)
+
+### Downloading files
+
+To download files:
+1. Click on files to select them (they'll be highlighted in pink)
+2. Use the buttons in the bottom right:
+   - **"dl"** - Download individual files
+   - **"zip"** - Download multiple files as a zip archive
+
+![Download Files](download.png)
+
+## Tips and best practices
+
+1. **Data Persistence**: Always store important files in `/workspace` to survive pod restarts
+2. **Port Selection**: Choose a port that doesn't conflict with other services (avoid 8888 if using Jupyter)
+3. **Large Files**: CopyParty handles large file transfers well, making it ideal for model weights and datasets
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Session ends when terminal closes
+Use the tmux option (Option 2) to keep CopyParty running in the background
+
+## Alternative file transfer methods
+
+While CopyParty provides an excellent web-based solution, Runpod also supports:
+- Direct SSH/SCP transfers (if SSH is enabled)
+- JupyterLab file browser
+- [Runpod CLI](/runpodctl/overview) tool
+- [Cloud storage integration](/pods/storage/cloud-sync) (S3, Google Drive, etc.)
+
+Choose the method that best fits your workflow and security requirements.

+
+## What is OhMyRunPod?
+
+OhMyRunPod is a Python package that solves one of the most common Runpod user challenges: **easily transferring files to and from your Pod**.
+
+While OhMyRunPod includes various features, **the SFTP setup functionality** is the one we want to highlight to help get you started with file transfer software such as FileZilla or similar tools.
+
+<Note>
+Check the repository for additional features, updates, and documentation: [github.com/kodxana/OhMyRunPod-python](https://github.com/kodxana/OhMyRunPod-python)
+</Note>
+
+## Key features
+
+<CardGroup cols={2}>
+  <Card title="Easy File Transfer" icon="arrow-right-arrow-left">
+    Simplified file transfer between your local machine and Runpod instances using SFTP or Croc
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Automatic SSH Setup" icon="key">
+    Automatically configures SSH access with secure key generation and password management
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+## Requirements
+
+Before getting started with OhMyRunPod, make sure you have:
+
+- An active Runpod account with a running Pod.
+- Python 3.6 or higher installed on your local machine.
+- Port 22 exposed in your Pod's TCP ports configuration (for SFTP transfers).
+
+## Installation
+
+Install OhMyRunPod using pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install OhMyRunPod
+```
+
+## Quick start: file transfer
+
+The most common use case for OhMyRunPod is transferring files between your local machine and Runpod instances.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Ensure Port 22 is Exposed">
+    Before starting, make sure port 22 is exposed in your Pod. This is required for SFTP transfers.
+
+    To expose port 22:
+    1. Go to your Pod in the Runpod console
+    2. Click **Edit Pod**
+    3. Under the **TCP Ports** section, add port `22`
+    4. Save the changes
+
+    <Warning>
+    **Data loss warning**: Changing TCP ports will restart your pod and **erase all data outside of `/workspace`**. Ensure all important files are in `/workspace` (the default persistent directory) before making port changes.
+    </Warning>
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Run the file transfer command">
+    Execute the file transfer command:
+    ```bash
+    OhMyRunpod --file-transfer
+    ```
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Choose a transfer method">
+    You'll be presented with transfer options:
+
+    <Frame>
+      <img src="/images/ohmyrunpod-file-transfer-selection.png" alt="File transfer selection menu showing Croc and SFTP options" />
+    </Frame>
+
+    - **Croc**: Easy peer-to-peer file transfer (recommended for quick transfers)
+    - **SFTP**: Traditional file transfer via SSH/SFTP clients (recommended for persistent connections)
+
+    Use arrow keys to navigate and Enter to select.
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="SFTP setup complete">
+    If you choose SFTP, OhMyRunpod will automatically:
+    - Install and configure SSH server
+    - Set up SSH keys
+    - Generate a secure password
+    - Create connection scripts for your operating system
+
+    <Frame>
+      <img src="/images/ohmyrunpod-sftp-confirm.png" alt="SFTP setup confirmation showing connection details and instructions" />
+    </Frame>
+
+    The tool provides:
+    - Complete connection information (server address, port, username, password)
+    - Platform-specific connection instructions for FileZilla, WinSCP, Command Line, and VS Code
+    - Password saved to `/workspace/root_password.txt` for reference
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## What can you do after setup?
+
+Once SFTP is configured, you can:
+
+- **Upload datasets**: Transfer training data directly to `/workspace/`
+- **Download models**: Pull trained checkpoints back to your local machine
+- **Sync code**: Use VS Code Remote-SSH for live editing
+- **Backup files**: Regular backups of important work
+- **Use any SFTP client**: FileZilla, WinSCP, or command line tools
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
