DEPRECATED Secure Shell App

(DEPRECATED: USE THE EXTENSION) Terminal emulator and SSH and SFTP client.

DEPRECATED Secure Shell App - Terminal Emulator & SSH Client

The DEPRECATED Secure Shell App was a widely-used terminal emulator and stand-alone SSH client which allowed direct connection to ssh servers without needing external proxies. It included a SFTP command line client, had SFTP mounts in ChromeOS, and was compatible with the Files app. While it's no longer updated, users can switch to the extension version for continued support.

User reviews

How do I remove this app? I'm on macOS, but this app synced over from an earlier ChromeOS device. It's installed for me and blocks the "ssh" prefix in the search bar. It does not appear in the list of installed extensions. There is a disabled "Remove from Chrome" button on this page.

This is much better than the new undeprecated app since it fits inside a chrome tab like I want it to!
