Read on for a detailed look at the five best FTP clients for your money, then cast your vote for the app you like best. FileZilla is a free, open-source FTP client for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It looks good, is available for Mac OS too (in case you buy a fancy Mac Boo), can be automated, has tons of options and a multi-tabbed interface. The more seriously you need an ssh client (beyond an occasional connection that you can do with Putty), the more you will appreciate this program. Is there a GUI SSH client for OS X? Ask Question. The best GUI application for SSH (and everything else you can do on the command line). Is there a Mac FTP client that will open SSH at current location? SSH tunneling with Safari. MacOS Sierra asks for non-existing SSH passphrase. Fugu gives secure SSH an GUI interface for command-line SFPT file tranfers. SFTP is a secure replacement for FTP: the session is encrypted via ssh, so nothing--most importantly passwords--is sent in the clear.

Any other SSH client will render the remote server at whatever size the local client window is. The built-in SSH client on Windows, however, forces you to use a standard size, and it's small enough to cause problems.

Every IT admin I know depends upon a secure shell at some point. It's the single best way to remotely administer a Linux or UNIX-based server. Secure shell allows you shell access to your servers, without the concern for transmitting plain-text passwords. Of course, shell access isn't limited to UNIX-like servers. Even Windows machines can run a secure shell server.

But what about gaining access to those secure shell-enabled servers? What is the best method? Well, that all depends - do you like the command line, or do you like a nice GUI tool? The good news, you can have them both. In fact, I have found five of the best SSH-ready clients. All of these clients are free and very easy to use. You'll find clients for both Windows and Linux.

1. PuTTY

PuTTY is probably the single most popular secure shell client for the Windows platform. It's incredibly easy to use, allows for the saving of profiles, and can be used as a portable tool.

In fact, If you just need to share the screen of your iPad or iPhone with your Mac, then there are few better RDP clients around. Remotix is integrated with OS X’s screen sharing tool (see more on Back to My Mac later in this article) which makes sharing screens between Apple devices particularly easy and reliable. There’s very little lag in connections made with Remotix to Windows either as it quickly optimizes itself for the speed of your internet connection. Realvnc. Free Demo is an extremely fast, slick and user friendly remote desktop connection client for Mac.

Ssh For Mac

• You don't need one. Just open a console window a use ssh from the command line.

  Thanks for the reply. But, as mentioned in the previous post, I currently use the SSH utility via command line and I find it lacking in the features I want. It has no keepalive. Thus if I have to walk away from the computer for a bit when I return, whatever I was connected to is now dropped, and I have to re-establich the SSH session. Pain in the rear.
  A utility such as SecureCRT, for Windows computers only, has these features and more and is truly a superior SSH client. So I am hoping that other Mac users out there have the same requirements that I do, and have found a good utility somewhere that can fill this gap.
  Thanks!

  Tried ssh -o TCPKeepAlive ?
• I would be interested in finding out a better SSH client than Terminal.
  At the moment, I click-hold on the Terminal icon in the dock and click 'Connect to server..'. Slightly easier than using the command line method.

  No!! I have not tried that. However, I am trying right now. Thanks again for the prompt response!

  You can use a command alias or a simple script to save the login command for each of your favorite servers, if re-typing the commands gets too complicated. In its simplest form, this just means typing the command into a text file and making the file executable. OpenSSH is a pretty decent SSH client, and the BSD environment that surrounds it offers a rich variety of ways to streamline your workflow. If I had to guess, I'd say the lack of 'sophisticated' GUI SSH clients for OS X is because the power-users that would use them prefer to leverage the CLI instead.
• Yeah, I haven't found a GUI ssh client I like as much as the command line. Color me geeky.
  Ditto to the above comments about making a quick shell script that just fires off the appropriate username/password, but that's a slight security risk, keeping your passwords in plain text like that.
  I set up secure keys between all my ssh2 connections, but you might not have that option.
• Well, I think I would like to use the command line too, if only I can iron out these few wrinkles and make it quicker and easier to connect to my servers.
  TCPKeepAlive: I have tried this option but it is not working for me. I have tried it via command line as such:
  ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=yes server.domain.com
  as well as placing it in /etc/ssh_config under 'Host *' But either way, the session is still dropped after a bit of inactivity.
  Alias: I have also put a few aliases in /etc/profile that allow me to reduce this:
  ssh -l barney -o TCPKeepAlive=yes host.domain.com
  to this:
  host
  but this still leaves me needing to enter the password everytime. (I know a petty grievance) which is more typing than I'd like to have to do. Is there no way to pass that via config files or command line?
  Thanks!

  I understand, that with other ssh clients (especially the one you wrote about) your sessions do stay open? In other words - is this an issue only from your Mac?

  It is possible to establish trust through host keys as well as authenticate through a personal ssh key. This second method is probably better. You would have to create a key with ssh-keygen, place it on the hosts in appropriate files etc, then use ssh-agent to keep it for you while your OS X session is open allowing password-less login onto other hosts.
  However, I actually think that having to enter a password when logging in is a good thing. A little inconvenience that actually improves security.
• Yep, this is only a problem when I use the Mac. But I think it is not an inherent difference in Operating Systems so much as it was a feature of a really good SSH client that *happened* to be written for Windows. This is the client, btw, that I am referring to:

• Except that I've never seen that problem on my Mac.. my guess is that it happens to be something about the ssh server on the other end.
• JellyfiSSH is a simple bookmark manager for connecting to *NIX boxes like BSD/Linux etc via Telnet or SSH 1 or 2. You can set preferences for each bookmark including the terminal colours, fonts, window size, transparency and default login. Version 4 introduces grouping which allows you to collect similar bookmarks into groups for better management - especially for large numbers of bookmarks.
