    Have you tried gnome-terminal for a tabbed minimal UI for ssh? How about rsync for transferring files? How about ssh-copy-id?

    What is the point of this project?

      This is for people who manage multiple machines and prefer a graphical, unified GUI, and also for newbies, the same users who use Putty, Mobaxterm or Termius.

      It does have buttons for ssh-copy-id and scp. I preferred rsync myself but the problem is that it’s not installed by default and the user must manually install it on their remote machine.

        I think it’s great that people are creating and sharing projects even if others exist already.

        It should be a good way to learn and get feedback so that current or future projects are better than before. Learning by doing is a good enough reason to do anything.

        The layout looks really nice and not distracting.

        I guess mayhaps I’m not the target audience as I can achieve this effect with existing tools and I avoid GUI whenever possible.

        Maybe also not the target OS, but sometimes ssh isn’t installed by default either. It would be cool if you add rsync as a prereq

      This is an application for people who install webmin and/or a full desktop to remote into on a server machine.

      But yeah, ssh, tmux, rsync/rclone should be enough for anyone competent.

          Tried zellij yet? The first one I stuck with and didn’t stop using again after a few days cause I can’t just remember key binds.

            Not yet, my WM largely negates the need but in the case of WSL I do use screen. I’ll see if it’s available easily with Ubuntu and try it out.

            Thank you

              I’m actually almost never using it locally, but find it very useful in remote ssh sessions. There I often don’t want to lose whatever task just cause I disconnect.

                Ah, unfortunately the systems I am forced to use are old enough that that use case is impossible.
