A Quicker and better SSH/Telnet/Serial/Shell/Sftp client for DevOps. WindTerm is a partial open source project, and the source will be gradually opened. Open source code includes, but is not limited to, the classes that can be used independently, such as functional, algorithms, GUI widgets, etc., as well as functional libraries, such as networks, protocols, etc., as well as all types that require open source according to the license. SSH v2, Telnet, Raw TCP, Serial, Shell protocols were implemented. Supports SSH auto-execution when the session is authenticated.

Easy and fun way to work with remote servers over SSH. This project is being renamed as previous name "Snowflake" is confusing since there is already a popular product with the same name. Muon is a graphical SSH client. It has an enhanced SFTP file browser, SSH terminal emulator, remote resource/process manager, server disk space analyzer, remote text editor, huge remote log viewer, and lots of other helpful tools, which makes it easy to work with remote servers. Muon provides functionality similar to web-based control panels but, it works over SSH from the local computer, hence no installation is required on the server. It runs on Linux and Windows. Muon has been tested with several Linux and UNIX servers, like Ubuntu server, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and HP-UX. The application is targeted mainly towards web/backend developers who often deploy/debug their code on remote servers and not overly fond of complex terminal-based commands.

Netcatty is a modern SSH workspace, SFTP client, and terminal manager for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is built with Electron, React, and xterm.js, giving users a graphical environment for managing remote shell sessions rather than relying only on separate terminal windows. The application supports multiple connections, split terminals, vault-style organization, and SFTP workflows for browsing and moving files. It also includes an AI agent feature intended to assist with terminal work and remote operations. Netcatty is best suited for developers, system administrators, and DevOps users who want one workspace for SSH access, file transfer, and terminal organization. Its main value is combining remote access, file management, and a polished desktop interface into a single cross-platform tool.

https://abhibagul.github.io/filepilot/client.html FilePilot is a free, open-source desktop app for transferring files over FTP, SFTP, FTPS, SCP, Amazon S3, WebDAV, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Azure Blob Storage. Built on Tauri with a Rust backend, it features a dual-pane browser, multi-threaded resumable transfers, checksum validation, two-way folder sync with conflict resolution, and an offline transfer queue. Automate workflows with a sandboxed JavaScript macro editor, or extend FilePilot via its plugin SDK for custom protocols and panels. All credentials are encrypted locally with AES-256-GCM behind a master password — FilePilot never has access to your passwords. Runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. MIT licensed, with no telemetry or ads.
