how do you manage multiple SSH sessions/sftp in one instance using which apps?

i have like more then 20 vps/dedicated server , if i want to manage them all like rsync / doing backup/archives and updating panels and OS.

using winscp currently . Want to find out what you guys use it which can handle multiple SSH/SFTP in one interface.

    i have like so many panels pterodacyl , normally if it was 1 instance would be faster but on winscp if i go back and forth it takes 2 hours to full load all game mods on all vps and sync them. to reduce i need one instance which i can manage all ssh/sftp in one instance if possible to reduce my work time from 2 hours to may be lets say 30 mins.

    i will try this windterm on my windows 11 64 bit.

    Perhaps rclone plus automation script™ for small fleet
    Assume the user@target:/local/path has been updated
    ssh user@target 'bash -lc "nohup /usr/bin/rclone sync /local/path remote_1:/path > /tmp/rclone.log 2>&1 & pid=$!; echo $pid; ( wait $pid; /usr/bin/inform_central_node.sh ) &"'
    By informing central node, it could trigger execution of the script above with the remote_1 as the ssh target to sync it with another remote.

    1. Get a VM from a provider I trust 100%, e.g. OVH or Hetzner or Homelab (If dedicated IP)
    2. Setup Tailscale with Tailscale SSH & disable OpenSSH
    3. Install https://github.com/Termix-SSH/Termix & expose the UI only on Tailnet and Tailscale as OICD
    4. Setup firewalls on VMs/Dedis to only allow SSH from that VM

    For backups I mostly use included tools to backup either to a PBS or a S3 bucket

  • Use automation with ansible

  • I don't really understand the question but I use PuTTY as a client and screen to multiplex all my logins to different servers from that. That seems to answer part of what you're asking at least.

    xshell with this function. use a shell , or make a simple python program is a way

  • I have used https://serverbuddy.app/ in the past. Have served me well enough to recommend it. It's one-time paid btw.

  • +1 for Ansible

    Ansible is the way if you want to automate the process.

    It only requires you to have SSH access to the servers you're managing. Afterwards, you can automate everything from your "control node" device with Ansible installed.

    You define your "managed nodes", in an inventory.yaml file then create "playbooks" which are scripts that are usually immutable processes using Ansible modules.

    I use it for VPS provisioning, running backups, and other small maintenance tasks via cron.

    You can also run "ad hoc" commands across all the nodes you control as well.
