Why Use an SSH Client?

Now, let's talk about SSH clients. They make connecting to SSH servers super simple! With some handy features and easy-to-use interfaces, they take the stress out of making secure connections.

Easy to Use

One of the best SSH clients out there is graSSHopper. It's totally free and open-source, which means anyone can use it. Plus, its modern design makes it really user-friendly!

Features Galore

The app uses something called an xterm-color terminal at its core. It has all the basic stuff you'd expect from a terminal—like selecting text, scrolling around, and managing your text with copy and paste. But wait, there's more! You also get some nifty extra tools.

Search Made Easy

You can quickly search through your console window or even do wider web searches if you need to find something specific.

Your File Explorer

The Terminal comes with an explorer that lets you view all the folders on your server. You can open and close folders easily, highlight them, or jump into a folder using commands like "cd." Plus, you can perform "sudo sftp" actions without any hassle!

A Handy Editor

If you need to edit files while you're connected, graSSHopper has a basic editor that includes syntax highlighting. This feature makes coding much clearer!

No one likes wasting time switching between servers! Luckily, graSSHopper lets you save your connections online with full credentials so you can access them wherever you are.

Multiple Tabs for Productivity

You can work with several SSH connections in different tabs at once. There's even a history feature that remembers all the commands you've typed in before!

Add-Ons for Your Needs

The app doesn't stop there; it also includes a password generator, connection history tracking, a clipboard tool, and even a chmod tool for changing file permissions. Want to upload or download files? No problem! The built-in SFTP engine handles that smoothly.
