Whether you’re on the go or at your desk, WebSSH keeps you connected—anytime, anywhere! ٩(^‿^)۶
WebSSH is a powerful and user-friendly SSH, SFTP, Telnet, and Port Forwarding client for iOS and macOS. It allows developers, system administrators, and IT professionals to manage servers securely and efficiently, wherever they are.
With WebSSH, you can connect to your servers using modern authentication methods including password, two-factor challenge, or keys (RSA, DSA, ED25519, PuTTY). Connections are fast and reliable, with support for local port forwarding, automatic command execution at startup, and full terminal emulation (XTERM-COLOR256, XTERM, VT100). Profiles let you customize themes, colors, fonts, and keyboard behavior to perfectly fit your workflow.
Managing files on remote servers is simple thanks to the integrated SFTP client. You can browse directories, create or rename files, upload documents from your device, download files locally, and even edit text files directly within the app.
Beyond SSH and SFTP, WebSSH also supports Telnet and Serial connections, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of use cases. Serial connections can be fully configured (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control), while Telnet connections support both direct and interactive authentication.
For quick diagnostics, WebSSH includes built-in sysadmin tools such as Ping, Whois, Traceroute, and DNS Lookup. And if you need a terminal even without internet access, the mashREPL feature gives you a local shell with essential commands like ls, grep, curl, ping, tar, and many more.
WebSSH supports multiple protocols (SSH, SFTP, Telnet, Serial) and channel types (Shell sessions, SFTP sessions, Local Port Forwarding), ensuring compatibility with most professional scenarios.

For a couple of years I have occasionally used WebSSH on iOS while from habit using Terminal on MacOS when needing SSH. I decided to try WebSSH on MacOS and will probably switch for SSH connections. I may have cause to test its serial capability to a router as well. While I am comfortable using CLI it is not my usual habitat so having a neat interface with a few clickable tools handy saves a little thought now and then. An app does not need to blow you away to deserve five stars for its effectiveness. WebSSH is good.

🇦🇺 Hey Fred 👋Thank you so much for this awesome 5-star review! It really means a lot to me as an indie developer to read that WebSSH is making your workflow easier across both iOS and macOS.I totally get what you mean about the CLI - while it's powerful, having a neat interface with those handy clickable tools can definitely save time and mental energy. That's exactly what I'm aiming for with WebSSH: keeping all the power you need while making it more accessible and pleasant to use!I'm really happy to hear you're considering switching from Terminal to WebSSH for your SSH connections, and I'd love to hear how the serial capability testing goes with your router if you get a chance to try it out.Your feedback about WebSSH being "good" without needing to blow you away is actually one of the best compliments - solid, reliable, and effective is exactly what a SysAdmin tool should be!Feel free to reach out at team [AT] webssh [DOT] net anytime if you have suggestions or questions.Have a great day ☀️Arnaud

No option to save passphrase for the ssh key

Overwall this ssh terminal is very good, but sadly I am missing an option to save the passphrase for the ssh key so I don’t have to type all the time or use a password manager, would give 5 stars otherwise
