Whether you're on the go or at your desk, WebSSH keeps you connected — anytime, anywhere! ٩(^‿^)۶ WebSSH is a professional SSH, Mosh, SFTP, Telnet, and Port Forwarding client for iOS and macOS — now with an integrated Proxmox client. Built for developers, system administrators, and IT professionals who need reliable, secure remote access wherever they are. CONNECT WITH CONFIDENCE Authenticate with passwords, two-factor challenge, or keys (RSA, DSA, ED25519, PuTTY). Connections are fast and stable, with support for local port forwarding, automatic startup commands, full terminal emulation (XTERM-256COLOR, XTERM, VT100), and custom profiles — themes, fonts, colors, and keyboard shortcuts tailored to your workflow. MANAGE FILES REMOTELY The integrated SFTP client lets you browse directories, create, rename, upload, and download files — and edit text files directly within the app. No separate FTP client needed. MORE THAN SSH WebSSH also supports Mosh, Telnet, and Serial connections, making it a versatile tool across a wide range of scenarios. Mosh (mobile shell) keeps your session alive through network changes, sleep, and flaky connections — switch from Wi-Fi to cellular and pick up right where you left off. Serial connections support full configuration (baud rate, parity, stop bits, flow control), and Telnet supports both direct and interactive authentication. PROXMOX AT YOUR FINGERTIPS NEW: WebSSH now includes a built-in Proxmox client. Connect to one or more Proxmox servers and clusters, monitor your nodes at a glance (CPU, memory, storage), and manage your VMs and LXC containers — start, stop, reboot and migrate them right from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. BUILT-IN SYSADMIN TOOLKIT Quick diagnostics without leaving the app: Ping, Traceroute, DNS Lookup, and Whois. The mashREPL feature gives you a fully local shell (ls, grep, curl, ping, tar, and more) that works even without internet access. WHY WEBSSH? Most SSH clients are either too basic or too bloated. WebSSH hits the sweet spot: professional-grade features, a clean mobile-first interface, and rock-solid reliability — every on-device feature unlocked with a single one-time PRO purchase, yours for life. One app. Every protocol. Zero compromises. Download WebSSH and keep your servers close at hand, no matter where you are.
