There are a mess of troubles in sending and receiving files from my macbook to dev server, since I had no permission to excute command scp on dev server.
Here is a lightweight, quick, and convenience tools which related with ssh, called lrzsz. lrzsz is a unix communication package providing the XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM file transefer protocol which usually has been already installed in most of servers.
Prerequisites


iTerm2 is necessary. Here is the official website.
Install lrzsz on your mac:

sudo brew install lrzsz
Set trigger for iTerm2


First you should download the scripts from ZModem integration for iTerm 2, and save them in /usr/local/bin/
Set up two triggers in iTerm2's [preference] -> [profile] -> [advanced] -> [triggers] -> [edit]

	Regular expression: rz waiting to receive.\*\*B0100
    Action: Run Silent Coprocess
    Parameters: /usr/local/bin/iterm2-send-zmodem.sh

    Regular expression: \*\*B00000000000000
    Action: Run Silent Coprocess

How to use it

rz


Run "rz" on dev server. Then it would prompt that something like "rz waiting to receive." and create a new window titled "choose a file to send".
Choose the file you need to receive from your laptop.

sz


run "sz /path/file" to send server's file to your laptop.
