  • Usefull

    Thanks for your awesome ideas, if you add tunnel feature on app we can test our apps on phone (for sample connect to server and open local address in browser)
  • Well worth it

    I had tested out several SSH apps previously, most of which were either abandoned or overkill. My needs are pretty simple (home server, and a couple of things to monitor at work). This app does exactly what I needed. The single dev must be very busy, with regular updates and upgrades, seems quite responsive to feedback. If only everything worked this well!

    Hello 🇺🇸 👋 Thank you so much for your nice review and strong support about WebSSH 🙏 Yes I'm (very? 😅) busy but I try to put inside WebSSH all things I need to work properly on day-job. And when you say you enjoy to use it, I'm so happy 👍 I hope you will love the upcoming releases. Have a nice day ☀️
  • Works exceptionally well for SSH tunneling!

    Wonderful way to proxy out a squid forward proxy with a PAC file and persistent ssh tunnel. Thank you for a fully functional application not hobbled at all! Paid for pro to support the developer even if I am using it with one node only. Well done!
  • I went PRO

    I just went pro version on this app. There aren't many SSH apps on the app store with port forwarding and tunneling features. The last one I had is no longer available. I'm so happy to find this one by an honest independent developer that works great, is well maintained, well supported and doesn't ask a subscription from its users. Now after having successfully tested the features I need, I have gone pro. I will continue to support this developer and encourage the developer to add a "tip" IAP such as found in long maintained independent hits such as iCab .

    Woohoo thank you so much for your feedback and support about WebSSH 🙏 You have made my day! Also thank you for talking about IAP "tip" to support my work, I will think about it 👍 I hope you will enjoy the upcoming releases like I enjoy building them. Have a nice day ☀️
  • Mostly Works with Some Oddities

    This is definitely the easiest terminal app I’ve used on the iPad, and it has all the functionality I need to communicate with a remote computing cluster. It is much slower than a native Linux terminal, mainly when the session is starting, and arrow keys don’t always work in text editors (I can only use Emacs without issue). That being said these oddities don’t interfere with my ability to use the app.

    I would definitely suggest that the app can maintain a remote connection even when the local device goes to sleep, if that’s not a hardware limitation. I usually turn sleep off when I use this app.

Thank you so much for your support 🙏 > It is much slower than a native Linux terminal, mainly when the session is starting, and arrow keys don’t always work in text editors (I can only use Emacs without issue).  Have you tried to change "Cursor Keys Mode" inside your WebSSH' connection settings? >That being said these oddities don’t interfere with my ability to use the app. I would definitely suggest that the app can maintain a remote connection even when the local device goes to sleep, if that’s not a hardware limitation. I usually turn sleep off when I use this app. You can enable "Keep Device Awake" inside the WebSSH settings in order to keep the screen awake. I'm here if you need any further help about WebSSH. Have a nice day ☀️
  • Good app

    This review was changed from one star. I thought the app didn’t confirm the host’s identity. Apparently it does, it just asks for the password first. I put in a dummy password when I tried again. It prompted me to verify the host identity as I would expect.

    I would appreciate if it would use the formatting that the Linux desktop SSH software uses for host identification, or have an option for it.

    Love the SFTP feature, would like an option to manually enter/edit the working directory though.

    Would 100% recommend over Terminus.

  • works great for this newbie

    I am really a beginner in SSH. This works great. The instructions are pretty clear and the developer has made the program easy to configure.
  • Really like this app

    I use this app all of the time on my iPad, very easy to setup and use. I SSH into my home server I also use the Sftp to transfer files to and from my ipad to my Ubuntu desktop!!
  • Keys

    I have tried pasting in the key as well as importing a file but whenever I do it the app is unable to parse the key. I got it to work on my iPad but this tiny phone makes it hard. Is there an easier way to import the key because I feel like the text is getting corrupted or it is the encoding or spaces or something.

  • ESSENTIAL app for anyone working on iPhone / iPad

    The creator/developer of this app has really got it together! This app never crashes - no errors - it's SOLID. And I can't imagine working on my iPhone without it, or wasting my time with ANY of the other apps for SSH/SFTP/TUNNELING. And this app has EVERYTHING! Every tool I need is already implemented perfectly. This is my most used app on my iPhone, and the purchase was TOTALLY WORTH EVERY CENT! Thank you for this amazing tool that makes my life and work doable!
