Ask HN: Ipad ssh clients
What app do you use for an ssh client on an Ipad? How much do you trust the app or IOS with your private keys? Are there any that are open source? Does jailbreaking help?
- stephenr 12y agoI use Prompt from Panic on iPhone and iPad mini. Keys are transferred via iTunes "files" feature and it works well.
- leejoramo 12y agoMy favorite has been Panic's Prompt. https://www.panic.com/prompt/ https://www.panic.com/prompt/ I find the UI to be very polished. I admit that on iOS I tend to use SSH more from my iPhone than the iPad, and have not really given the other SSH clients a fair test on the iPad. I trust the app with my private keys. I base this trust on the fact that Panic is a very long time and well regarded Mac OS developer. Additionally, I have used their Mac OS Transmit app for SFTP since the original release (I think that is over 15 years ago). Obviously your requirements for trusting an app with your private keys maybe stricter, and require the ability to inspect the code. However if you are at all able to use a closed source app, I feel comfortable to recommend Prompt.
