Secure Shell

Secure Shell

Terminal emulator and SSH and SFTP client.

What is Secure Shell?
Secure Shell is a groundbreaking Chrome extension that acts as an xterm-compatible terminal emulator and stand-alone ssh client. It uses Native-Client to directly connect to ssh servers, bypassing the need for external proxies. Its package also comes with an SFTP command line client. Especially on ChromeOS, you can establish SFTP mounts and smoothly access them via the Files app. An early version of Mosh is now included. It's a well-tested, tried-and-true extension, with a proven track record.
