WinSSHTerm: A Tabbed SSH Solution, Combining PuTTY/KiTTY, WinSCP and VcXsrv
- dataflow 6y agoHow does it compare to MobaXterm?
- kyriakos 6y agoMoba is feature packed but it's performance and ux leave a lot to be desired.
- smoldesu 6y agoColor me surprised, this actually looks like a pretty good SSH client! I was one of those people who bought into Terminus when looking for a good SSH solution on Windows, and while it looked fine, it didn't offer a lot of unique or streamlined functionality. This, on the other hand, looks like the no-nonsense software I was looking for. Unfortunately I don't use Windows on my development machines anymore, but it certainly looks worth trying out.
- sys_64738 6y agoI tried Terminus but it's built on Electron so consumes GB instead of KB.
- Krisjohn 6y agoThis is a crowded space (I use Stardock's Groupy with PuTTY, and Directory Opus for SFTP. At work we use Remote Desktop Manager.), so good luck.
- tssva 6y agoI have given up on using graphical ssh clients on Windows since Microsoft started including OpenSSH. I find the combination of ssh and Windows Terminal to be a much better one. Occasionally I do still use WinSCP instead of acp or sftp from the command line. An advantage of doing so is use of the same keys in native Windows and WSL without having to convert them.
- chrisan 6y agoWindows Terminal finally replaced everything for me when they added ability to split and resize panes. Next update I believe gets your workspace at launch instead of having to split at start up
- elktea 6y agoDoes it do a list of saved sessions like SecureCRT or mRemoteNG?
- Firehawke 6y agoSure, in a manner of speaking. You can set different profiles to automatically run a console application, so setting one to "ssh user@host" gives you a profile that starts a given SSH instantly in its own tab. I've been doing that for over two years now and I wouldn't go back to PUTTY for anything. Especially since the latest OpenSSH for Windows supports Yubikeys; the version Microsoft provides officially is a bit too old for that but if you use Chocolatey or download from the OpenSSH for Windows Github area you get a version that absolutely does work well.
- tssva 6y agoYou can open tabs and split panes at startup now using command line arguments for wt.
- sys_64738 6y agoWindows Terminal also readily works with tmux and mouse over ssh. It's the panacea.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoNot a big fan of those "combined" swiss-army-knife clients. MobaXterm is another one. Using separate clients is better, so you can keep everything updated.
- jszymborski 6y agoIs it uncommon for people to include Cygwin binaries in their path? I just use the new Windows Terminal console and use cygwins ssh command. The experience doesn't feel very different at all from my linux machine.
- tssva 6y agoNo need to use cyvwin's ssh. Windows now includes a native port if OpenSSH.
- dec0dedab0de 6y agoI haven't had to use windows in almost a decade, but when I did I would keep the cygwin binaries iny path. Or later on, the binaries from the windows version of git.
- yonixw 6y agoBitvise SSH Client (free) is my favourite. And can also somehow work on mac with wine. But it's windowed and not tabbed.
- SturgeonsLaw 6y agoBitvise SSH Server is also a great way to add SSH functionality to Windows. Very customisable. I still use it over Windows' native SSH server.
