What about the name?
The name sounds weird? Think twice! WebSSH is a NATIVE and LOCAL SysAdmin Toolbox with Privacy and Security in mind which ensure that no data will leave your device outside your own secure servers.
As everybody knows, the "SSH" part means Secure Shell. But what about the "Web" part?
Just because WebSSH terminal rendering engine is based on Xterm.js, a JS library running on your own device! :)
Looking for SSH in a web browser?
WebSSH is not a website or an online SSH service : it's an app you install on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Connections go straight from your device to your server, nothing in between.
Have a nice day
