Today I released a new version of SSH Pilot, a user-friendly SSH connection manager.

SSH Pilot packs some useful features:

  • Built-in terminal
  • Dual-pane SFTP file manager
  • SCP file transfers
  • SSH Key generation and transfer
  • Secure storage for SSH secrets using libsecret and automatic login
  • Server grouping and color taggings
  • and more

It is available for major linux distributions, and there is a Flatpak that should run on any distro with Flatpak support.

May I ask WTF does Pedro Pascal have to do with any of this?

    He developed it. He's a very talented man.

    Have you tried gnome-terminal for a tabbed minimal UI for ssh? How about rsync for transferring files? How about ssh-copy-id?

    What is the point of this project?

    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 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

    What is the point of this project?

    This is an application for people who install webmin and/or a full desktop to remote into on a server machine.

    But yeah, ssh, tmux, rsync/rclone should be enough for anyone competent.

    Tried zellij yet? The first one I stuck with and didn't stop using again after a few days cause I can't just remember key binds.

    Not yet, my WM largely negates the need but in the case of WSL I do use screen. I’ll see if it’s available easily with Ubuntu and try it out.

    Thank you

    IDK, I think there's a niche here.

    I have a home server and rent a larger bare metal server in a data centre. Each has many docker containers. I haven't had to deploy ssh keys in years.

    There's another school that seems to prefer to spin up a digital ocean vps for every new thing. That's fine too, and I can see how this project would make that kind of workflow more manageable.

    Any alternative to MobaXTerm is a good idea.

    I'm very interested in this and will try it out. There was another connection manager that the author posts on Lemmy, but the memory usage was very high due to the amount of docker containers used. A quick glance showed no requirement for docker. The ssh port forwarding could be a very useful feature for my work right now.

    An alternative to PuTTY too I guess

    Very nice, GUIs are always appreciated as they make stuff easier by showing you what to do and needing to type less
