SSH Files – Secure ShellFish 2024.12

Secure ShellFish is a lightning-fast SSH terminal that offers remote file access. This app seamlessly integrates your SSH servers with your iOS devices, providing a comprehensive solution for all your SSH needs. Instead of just an advertising slogan, Secure ShellFish provides a reliable and efficient way to access your servers remotely.

With Secure ShellFish, you get a fully functional terminal that supports standard text editing gestures such as selection, scrolling, and copy/paste. Additionally, the app allows you to create custom gestures for sending arrow keys and tabulator inputs, which greatly enhances your shell entry experience. Furthermore, the inclusion of a bar above the keyboard makes it effortless to type special keys and insert snippets.

One standout feature of Secure ShellFish is its file handling capabilities. You can easily select and drag filenames out of the terminal, treating them as actual files. Conversely, you can also drag files from other apps and seamlessly upload them into the terminal. The app even offers built-in tmux support, allowing you to persist terminal sessions in case of Internet connectivity issues. Moreover, you can conveniently pick existing sessions with thumbnails and effortlessly handoff sessions between devices.

The server file system is seamlessly integrated with the Files app, providing easy access to your files. Recently accessed files and directories are also cached, ensuring their availability even when offline. For a truly native editing experience, you can use popular apps like Textastic and iA Writer to work on your remote server files.

Secure ShellFish makes file transfers effortless. You can upload files or entire directories directly from the share sheet with minimal friction. The app intelligently remembers the last destination directory for each kind of file, eliminating repetitive navigation. For even more automation, you can leverage the Shortcuts app to automate your file transfers.

In addition to its extensive features, Secure ShellFish allows you to connect to not only your Mac and Synology NAS, but also any other SSH server. The app even enables you to create new Digital Ocean droplets or GitHub Codespaces right from within the app itself.

Secure ShellFish is available as a free app, offering immense value without any cost. For those seeking an ad-free experience, pro users can opt for a paid version that disables terminal ads. Furthermore, pro users gain the ability to upload files directly through the Files app and enjoy unlimited server configurations.
