    GoTerm

    GoTerm

    Kafka.id

    GoTerm is a web-based SSH client with desktop and mobile apps for connecting to and managing remote servers. Users can open terminals in a browser or desktop app, organize hosts, connect through jump hosts, and transfer files with an SFTP browser. Browser sessions run on GoTerm’s gateway and can be resumed from another device, with terminal output replayed after reconnecting. GoTerm also opens private web services reachable through a host in browser tabs, and provides tunnels, saved command snippets, split panes, and a vault for passwords and private keys. Teams can share live sessions with read-only or read-write access, manage host permissions, and review connection and audit logs. It is designed for developers, system administrators, DevOps and on-call staff, IT teams and managed service providers, agencies, freelancers, and classroom or lab use.

    Cygwin

    Cygwin

    Cygwin

    Get that Linux feeling on Windows. Cygwin is a large collection of GNU and open-source tools that provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. And a DLL (cygwin1.dll) that provides substantial POSIX API functionality. Cygwin is not a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from the source if you want it to run on Windows. It can't magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality. The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86_64 versions of Windows, starting with Windows Vista. Use the setup program to perform a fresh install or to update an existing installation. Keep in mind that individual packages in the distribution are updated separately from the DLL so the Cygwin DLL version is not useful as a general Cygwin distribution release number.

    SSHFlow

    SSHFlow

    SSHFlow

    SSHFlow is a Windows SSH client built for developers who work with remote servers. Instead of treating servers as terminal tabs, SSHFlow gives every server its own persistent workspace with multiple terminals, an SFTP file browser, code editor, and database manager in one place. It works with existing SSH configurations and keys, requires no server-side agent, and keeps SSH keys and credentials on the user's machine by default. SSHFlow is designed for developers who regularly switch between terminal commands, remote files, code, and databases while working on the same server.
