This is for people who manage multiple machines and prefer a graphical, unified GUI, and also for newbies, the same users who use Putty, Mobaxterm or Termius.
It does have buttons for ssh-copy-id and scp. I preferred rsync myself but the problem is that it's not installed by default and the user must manually install it on their remote machine.
I think it's great that people are creating and sharing projects even if others exist already.
It should be a good way to learn and get feedback so that current or future projects are better than before. Learning by doing is a good enough reason to do anything.
The layout looks really nice and not distracting.
Thanks much
I guess mayhaps I’m not the target audience as I can achieve this effect with existing tools and I avoid GUI whenever possible.
Maybe also not the target OS, but sometimes ssh isn’t installed by default either. It would be cool if you add rsync as a prereq
