  • Bitwise ssh tunnelier Putty...

    Linux: Terminator + OpenSSH

    Windows: Cygwin + OpenSSH

    Android: Serverauditor + Hacker's Keyboard

  • I second KiTTY, a regularly updated PuTTY fork - http://www.9bis.net/kitty/
    The hover effect on the links might suggest the project hasn't been touched since 1998, but it's alive and well.

  • all of ssh clients maked by programmers without designers.
    For example MobaXterm very cool software, and i like it a lot, but the interface for me very ugly and not serious.

    I use MRemoteNG Not even sure how I came across it but been using it for ages.

  • Host4GeeksHost4Geeks Member, Host Rep

    The Default Terminal on Mac.

    Just works!

  • Got a local jump host set up which has a nice little tmux configuration, SSH agent forwarding, a config file for all hosts, glances (python resource monitor) for each host and zsh with a few plugins. Connecting to that jump host via KiTTY as it has a few additional and useful window settings. Looks like that:

    At the bottom you can see that I've got nested tmux sessions which make everything possible. (shell = shell on the jump host, glances = nested tmux with a window for each host, ssh = nested tmux session containing an unclosable window called "manager" which is just a shell, all new SSH connections will open up as new window).

    On all other UNIX platforms I'm using just the default SSH client (+ custom font & colors) and on Android I stick to JuiceSSH which served me quite well for years.

  • Linux: Guake - Always on, drop-down terminal is dope!

    Window$: Cygwin - Gives you that Linux feeling on Window$

    Android: ServerAuditor - Just plain great

    Bitvise. It has SSH and SFTP built-in (and more features). Must be a good reason why putty author (putty.org) listed the software as well http://www.putty.org/

  • JuiceSSH is just great :) Using the free version and very happy! Windows Putty :P

    I paid for JuiceSSH, works like a charm and I especially like CloudSync :)

    I dont understand how people can type commands on such a small onscreen keyboard, even on 10 inch tablets lol

  • I don't, I get my tablet and pair a BT keyboard ;)

    Then, I change my preferences for a larger text size.

  • After this thread ...I searched....
    For Android...Server Auditor...
    Looks cool...:-)

    w: putty
    l: terminator
    a: juicessh (only b/c I got pro for free b/c of their promo)

  • frkfrk Member

    On OSX I use iTerm.

    On Windows I use a combination of Pageant (for key managment), WinSCP for file transfer and cygwin for console/ssh access. :)

  • mobaxterm for sure is great for Windows and ssh management. Very nice tab system and "grid" to have more than one session in the same screen

  • All platforms: SecureCRT

  • Putty. I don't see anything wrong with it, besides the fact that I have to re-open it once a session disconnects.
    And sometimes I use FireSSH (Firefox extension) + FireFTP is not bad as well.

    It's not that bad, just that it's not as satisfying as using a keyboard where you have some actual feedback as you type :)

    I like JuiceSSH as I can change the font size of the terminal easily with the volume buttons (though I have to go back to the home screen to change the volume of my music).

    Boring, but on Windows Putty still gets the job done after all these years. Using another client feels like cheating.

    I actually find it more bearable with vibration, though the nexus 7 doesn't have it :(

  • I have JuiceSSH premium because of the promo. on my Android, but since I use Apple now, it's ServerAuditor. (not as good as JuiceSSH, but what'ya expect)
