I'm not sure how this is related to the terminal. This sounds like a request for adding a commandline application to Windows, not a feature to the terminal.

You might be able to use WSL for this. If not, then someone would probably need to port lszrz to Windows, though this issue tracker is not the place for that feature.

I mean it needs to support sz rz like xshell.

@zadjii-msft windows terminal should support sz/rz protocol and popout dialog box, I can't reopen this issue, please reopen it, it is very useful feature.

@zadjii-msft I think rz sz is a feature for terminal not shell (e.g. WSL).
rz sz is a program running on server, and also require terminal to support it.
In macOS, iTerm2 implement it instead of bash or zsh.
Please tell us where to request that feature.

So I still don't know why the terminal would need to add support for lszrz directly. Seems to me like the lszrz package should be the one to display the file picker on windows itself, and it's not the responsibility of the terminal to display that picker. I'm not sure why a terminal window needs to get involved in the implementation of a commandline application like this.

Maybe I don't understand how sz rz works? If someone can explain why I'm wrong, I'll be happy to re-open and investigate. But this just sounds like an application that needs to be ported to Windows on it's own, and the terminal doesn't need to ship with itself.

As a user, I don't really know what happens.

If I want to send a file from server to laptop,
I just run sz -be filename on linux (via Terminal, via shell, via ssh). This means I need to install lszrz on server.
And something should let me select where to put it, then receive and save it on my laptop.

Other Terminal do this, so I think Windows Terminal should do it too.
e.g. iTerm2 on macOS, SecureCRT / XShell on Windows

lszrz don't display the file picker on window.
Instead, people are required to run sz/rz on both sides.
This post show what should people do without using a terminal. And this really hard to do for users.

Terminal should support lszrz (and lszrz is required to be installed on PC).
Terminal is ONLY a UI of lszrz.
