Any suggestions would be grateful

    Been using SecureCRT for around 10 yrs I think, works on MAC as well as iOS/iPAD OS, can save, import and export logins and keys etc...

    But it's not FREE like putty

    I use the .ssh/config file.

    Host srv1
        HostName srv1.domain.tld
        User notroot
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/new_rsa
    

    Then you can just write ssh srv1 in the terminal.

  • Termius?

    Thanked by 1Void
  • The ssh command, an ssh config (~/.ssh/config) and whatever your default terminal is.

  • I was trying to find something to replace termius years ago and found Royal TSX. Have been using it ever since and never wanted to look for alternatives again.

  • +1 for Termius.
    It’s probably the app I use the most on my Mac

  • I use warp. You can create custom workflows to manage ssh keys, usernames, etc.

    Agree with this fully.

  • After using SecureCRT for over 15+ years I migrated to https://tabby.sh/

  • Do ppl still use Putty ? All OS nowadays have inbuilt support for ssh in their native terminal/cli.

    Putty lives forever.

  • There are many options/solutions but I'm guessing you're looking for macos specific without doing a vm or web based. I'd recommend termius if you want a gui but truly recommend using the built in terminal/ssh. You can create ~/.ssh/config and have entries like

    Host serverName
        HostName 192.168.1.123
        User userOnServer
        Port 22
        IdentityFile ~/path/to/key
    

    Then all you have to do is type 'ssh serverName' in the terminal and you're connected. Anything after Host is what you will reference the server as with the ssh/scp command. You can replace the IP with dns if it has one. If you're using the same user on your local host as the server, you don't need to specify it in the config. Same goes as the port, if you're using the standard port 22, you don't need it in the config.

    How much are you paying/paid for SecureCRT?

    Why'd you quit SecureCRT?

  • XPipe + Tabby

    Primarily to get a free solution that is also more cross-platform compatible. SecureCRT is still great, but it has its cost.

    How does Tabby compare to SecureCRT?

  • I use built in terminal on MacOS, and Termius on iOS.

    Don't really remember as I got license almost 10 yrs ago, I just pay for updates every 3 yrs or something and it's not much atleast not for my use case

    It's free for up to 10 connection profiles. And after that, $45 one time payment is also not that much.
