Manage all your SSH connections and servers with the help of this user-friendly yet comprehensive, cross-platform app
What’s new in Termius 7.22.1:
- Improved import from SecureCRT – made it possible to import Keys, Passwords, and Port Forwarding rules.
- Other stability and security improvements.
An SSH client is an app that allows the establishment of a secure and authenticated SSH connection to SSH servers. In short, it’s a program that uses a secure shell to connect to a remote system or computer (i.e. securely accessing switches, routers, servers, and other types of systems).
Of course, an SSH client should primarily make it easy for anyone to achieve secure logins, transfer files securely, as well as accessing various systems. However, a top-tier SSH client should do a lot more than that. This is where Termius comes into play.
Meet Termius, probably the best SSH client currently on the market
Termius is a cross-platform SSH client with support for SFTP, Mosh, Telnet, and E2EE synchronization. It’s available on Linux, macOS, Windows, as well as Android and iOS.
Since it uses a cloud account, it means that Termius can allow you to group hosts into groups, share settings between them, store connections and commands, and have them ready at the tips of your fingers on all your devices. To keep things safe, all data is end-to-end encrypted.
So, just because Termius can allow you to manage your SSH connections and share sets, scripts and public key auth credentials between computers, Macs, Android devices, or iDevices means it is the best? Partly, yes, but then there’s also the great UI experience on all the supported OSes, the 14-day trial for the Premium plan, the supported protocols, and the “extra” features.
Termius feature rundown
Termius has 6 main sections that should give you an idea about what it can do: Hosts, SFTP, Port Forwarding, Snippets, History, and Settings.
You can create new hosts, organize hosts into groups, as well as import hosts from other sources (such as Secure CRT, PuTTY, CSV, MobaXTerm, SSH config files, and so forth).
The SFTP section is the place where you can upload and download files (via the app’s built-in SFTP engine) and even access all your devices from the terminal. Termius even allows you to store all your frequently used commands and even share them with your team (if you choose the Teams plan).
Speaking of plans, the Premium plan (which includes a 14-day trial) opens a plethora of new experiences, but most of them are aimed at mobile users. Features such as the Autocomplete, snippet running on multiple targets, password paste, and terminal tabs are only available on mobile devices.
The port forwarding feature is also quite handy as it allows you to connect to remote interfaces or use VPN services in public spaces and complete all your SSH-related tasks.
Conclusion
Termius does everything an SSH client should, with the added benefit of allowing you to do all of it either from the desk using a laptop or a desktop computer or from the couch via its sublime mobile clients.
To top it all off, it has a very modern and sleek GUI that just makes the whole experience more pleasant and easy.
