About

BURSU Connection Manager

Read full description

BURSU Connection Manager is a full remote-access client for iPhone and iPad. SSH, Telnet, RDP, VNC, SFTP and FTP — one app, one catalogue of connections, one master password. ONE CATALOGUE, EVERY DEVICE Your connections live in BURSUcloud and follow you between iPhone, iPad, Windows, Linux and macOS. Add a server on the desktop and it is already on your phone. Edits made without a network are queued and sent as soon as you are back online. SECRETS THAT STAY YOURS Passwords and private keys are encrypted on the device with your master password before anything is sent. The server stores ciphertext and never receives the key, so nobody — including us — can read your credentials. Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID, and lock the app on start or after ten idle minutes. A TERMINAL THAT BEHAVES Colour schemes and font sizes, search in the output, snippets sent with a tap, session logs you can share, and a paste that asks before it runs several lines. Hardware keyboard support, and on iPad the familiar shortcuts to switch between sessions. Sessions keep running while you switch apps. REMOTE DESKTOP RDP — directly or through an RD Gateway — and VNC, with a trackpad pointer or direct touch. Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, and a picture that follows rotation. FILES Browse SFTP and FTP servers: sort, show hidden files, move, edit text files in place, select several items at once, and download or delete whole folders. FOR PEOPLE WHO RUN SERVERS • Local and remote port forwarding, and jump hosts • Favourites, recent connections and tags • Quick connect without saving anything • Folders you create, rename and move, with a default credential per folder • TOTP two-factor codes and a password generator • Import a private key from a file • Wake on LAN • See who last used a connection, and when • Known-hosts verification on every connect • Light and dark themes • English, Russian, Ukrainian and Georgian BURSU Connection Manager is made by BURSUsofts. The clients for Windows, Linux and macOS are free downloads at bursucm.com, and they share this catalogue.
