SSH connection manager, alternative to Remmina

General system Applications
1

Good morning/afternoon/evening,

in my professional life I use EOS on my laptop as well. For customer connection management I have lots of servers I need to connect to regularly, and I would need to manage those connections so that I do not have to ssh <servername> for every server manually.

For the last few months I have used Remmina, which does the job adequately, but stepped on a bug that nobody seems to have. The Matrix chat didn’t help, it’s half dead. So I am looking for alternatives.

Remmina can manage multiple connection types, SSH, RDP, SFTP and the like, which is really useful. Although it is useful, I would be fine with only a connection manager for SSH. There’s a really good one called MobaXTerm for Windows only, and I’m looking for something like that.

I’ve googled around, but most articles describing SSH management clients seem to be written by AI that don’t understand I’m looking for Linux management suites.

If one of you has a suggestion, I’d be glad to take a look.

Cheers.

Just create a file in your homedir under ~/.ssh/config and add the hosts you want to it, for example like this.

Host host1
hostname host1.example.com

Host host2
hostname host2.example.com
user: root
port: 222

Unless you want something specifically that is graphical?

Yeah, a graphical tool has advantages. I do not know all servers of all customers by heart, so creating entries for all servers, sorted under the customer name, makes it much easier to work with in day-to-day operations.

I already have a .ssh/config file, where the options for the servers reside.

Maybe something like this?

Or maybe something like this?

Both look promising, thank you for your suggestions,

Installed Termius, which looked incredible. Sadly had to stop when I read what data this applications vacuums up and sends to all the ad partners and interested parties all over the world. Unusable in a corporate setting.

I’ll try EasySSH next.

I didn’t look further into that one, same reason why I wouldn’t use that one :rofl:

I use KDE konsole built-in SSH Manager.

Just for your information: My quest for a decent application was driven by my perception that on Windows there’s a very very good client called MobaXTerm. I was frustrated that Linux seems to be missing such a well integrated client.

The best solution for now seems to be to run the Windows version of MobaXTerm using Wine, which seems to work fine.

Cheers.
