GOOD TO KNOW
iOS closes network connections while an app is in the background. When you come back, SSHBorg reconnects your sessions automatically.

SSHBorg never collects your data. Everything stays on your device — your credentials, your keys, your connections.
• No ads
• No tracking
• No cloud
• Open source — GPL v3

Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• SFTP: a built-in editor for the files on your server — text files are edited in place and keep their encoding and line endings, configuration files are syntax coloured, and anything that is not text opens in a hex editor
• SSH keys: a key with a passphrase now works — the passphrase is asked once when you import the key and is not stored anywhere. Keys imported earlier must be imported again; the list marks them.
• Fixed scrolling inside tmux and other full-screen apps with the mouse on: a swipe now scrolls their history instead of selecting text
• Fixed text selection: a long press now selects straight away, the selection no longer disappears when new output arrives, and its handles can be dragged
• SFTP: errors stay on screen and say which file failed; an operation over several files keeps going and lists the ones it could not do
• Terminal: command history is read without a second login
• App lock: the timeout counts from leaving the app, not from the last unlock
• Extra key bar: on the two-row layout the arrows line up again — the keyboard key no longer shifts the top row
• Terminal: copying works again on the newest iOS — a long press, or a double tap on a word, now offers Copy; before, no menu appeared at all
• Terminal: no more blue flash over the whole screen while typing quickly with word suggestions on
