SSH managers on Linux? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Curious what folks are using to organise their remote connections? I liked WinSSHTerm and have tried replacing it with Remote Desktop Manager, but it seems a bit broken (fonts look terrible in a terminal, sftp doesn't work, RDP sort of works, but it's not great).

RDP is not a must. Folders, ssh, key auth, sftp and scp are the main things I'm looking for. Currently considering Remmina but though I would check if ppl have strong views on this topic before trying the next app.

I'm using cinnamon with mint 22.

Muon.

Does SSH, SFTP and other stuff.

I would say, like many others, Remmina.

Putty also has a Linux version, so you can use that as well. Its session management is a bit clunky, but it works and it offers some fairly good functionalities.

But ssh is first and foremost a command line tool. As others have said, invest some time to learn its commands and configuration files.

I use Apache Guacamole, which works great for just about any kind of remote access and has a dead simple to use Docker Container.

It supports folders, copy/paste, uploading/downloading files, multiple open connections at once, and alternative mouse modes for touch screens. Best of all, it's completely free and open source.

SecureCRT. Expensive but my work paid for it.

I bought it personally but I would hardly call it expensive. The three year license is like ~67 USD a year for both CRT and FX.

I love it mainly because it's multi-platform but I wish it had more features. They boast their great integration with VShell but it would be much better if they just had better support for OpenSSH, like being able to push ssh keys to a host.

It is $120 per year for a single user. And to be fair I didn't specify a budget.

Curious though if you use terminus and think that it's worth it? It looks slick but it costs more than my IDE.

[-] ivgranite@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The free tier is pretty decent as is (at least I think there’s a free tier, unless I was grandfathered in or something). I did pay the $120 and it is pretty handy for mobile usage. The iOS app is great. Although, my poor impulse control is not a good measure of value

Remmina proves a reliable solution for remote desktop access when a graphical interface is required. However, for more streamlined operations, terminal-based SSH access ssh username@remote_host remains the preferred method. Establishing passwordless authentication is, naturally, a matter of convenience. The command ssh-copy-id username@remote_host facilitates this process. It’s a rather elegant solution, isn't it? A testament to the power of minimalism.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
