Whether you are a developer, sysadmin or DevOps engineer, SSHive puts your whole infrastructure in your pocket.
New in 1.2.4:
• Real ICMP ping and traceroute: actual measurements, showing every router along the way and its response time. The TCP fallback is labelled as such, on the port you choose.
• RDP certificates are checked: the server's fingerprint is remembered on first contact, and the connection stops if it ever changes. Known certificates are managed in Settings.
• Full DNS: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS and SOA, with their TTLs.
• Blocklists now have three verdicts instead of two — listed, clean, or no answer. A silent list no longer counts as "clean".
• Whois follows the referral chain all the way to the registrar, and no longer waits forever.
• SFTP downloads can be saved to Files or shared straight from the app.
• MX servers show their blocklist reputation next to each record.
• iCloud sync: a password changed on the Mac now reaches the iPhone, and an imported profile keeps all of its settings.
• FTP, FTPS and Telnet profiles created on the Mac are clearly flagged instead of being shown as SSH.
• “Save to Keychain” finally holds: unticking it deletes the password already stored, here and in iCloud, and it is asked for at every connection. Nothing is kept anywhere.
• Ctrl and Alt now work in the terminal: Ctrl+C really interrupts, and the key stays lit while the modifier is armed.
