SSH Client - Secure ShellFish
Terminal, Files & Finder
Free · In-App Purchases
Lightning fast SSH terminal with remote file access. No other app fuses your SSH servers and iOS devices as well as Secure ShellFish. Tap Get and see for yourself.
Terminal supports standard text editing gestures for selection, scrolling and copy/paste as well as custom gestures to send arrow keys and tabulator making shell entry and full screen editing with vim or emacs delightful. Bar above the keyboard makes it easy to type special keys and insert snippets.
Select and drag filenames out of the terminal as actual files and drag files from other apps into the terminal to upload. Use built-in tmux support to persist terminal sessions if you lose Internet access, pick existing sessions with thumbnails and Handoff sessions between devices.
Server file system is available in the Files app and recently accessed files and directories are cached to make them available when offline. Use apps like Textastic and iA Writer for a native editing experience working on your remote server files.
Upload files or entire directories from the share sheet with minimal friction as the last destination directory for each kind of file is remembered or automate file transfers in the Shortcuts app.
Connect to your Mac, Synology NAS and any other SSH server or create new Digital Ocean droplets right from the app.
Secure ShellFish is useful as a free app and paying pro users can disable ads in the terminal, upload through the Files app and configure unlimited number of servers.
Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
ShellFish has supported YubiKeys over NFC for a while, and now USB keys work too. Generate, export, and import them like any other keys - they just require the physical key to authenticate. Due to sandboxing restrictions, USB YubiKeys are accessed from a browser context, so your server needs to support webauthn-sk-ecdsa and the key application field must be localhost rather than ssh:
The context menu when starting terminals from the server list now has a submenu for picking an existing tmux session or creating a new one, instead of always connecting to the default. On iPad, hover the pointer over the session picker for a thumbnail popup.
