sshPilot is a desktop application for managing SSH connections. It loads/saves standard .ssh/config entries and make it easy to manage multiple servers.

It fully supports dynamic, remote and local port forwarding, key-pair generation, file transfer to remote machines and more.

Features:

  • Load/save standard .ssh/config entries (it loads you current configuration)
  • Full support for Local, Remote and Dynamic port forwarding
  • Intuitive, minimal UI with keyboard navigation and shortcuts – Press ctrl+L to quickly switch between hosts), close tabs with ctrl+w and move between tabs with alt+right/left arrow
  • SCP support for quicly uploading a file to remote server
  • Generate keypairs and add them to remote servers
  • Toggle to show/hide ip addresses/hostnames in main UI
  • Light/Dark themes
  • Customizable terminal font and color schemes
  • Free software (GPL v3 license)

The app is currently distributed as a debian package and can be installed on recent versions of Debian (testing/unstable) and ubuntu. Debian bookworm is not supported due to older libadwaita version.

Latest release can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/mfat/sshpilot/releases/tag/v2.0

You can also run the app from source. Install the modules listed in requirements.txt and a fairly recent version of GNOME and it should run.

A Flatpak and an RPM version are also planned for future.

I’m also looking for a volunteer to design a good icon for the app.

I’d highly appreciate your thoughts/feedback on this.–

      Initially I started this with PyQt, but it was a nightmare trying to integrate a terminal into the UI.
