Linux

I'm excited to let you know that sshPilot is now available on Flathub: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.mfat.sshpilot

It’s an intuitive, fast SSH connection manager with features like terminal tabs, a built-in SFTP file manager, port forwarding, key transfer (ssh-copy-id) and more and is optimized for fast navigation with keyboard.

In addition to the dual-pane file manager, the latest release adds a macOS bundle, a keyboard shortcuts customizer and support for grouping servers.

Technical notes:

The app doesn't use any custom configuration, it loads and saves standard ssh/config files.

It has an optional Isolated (sandboxed) mode which is enabled by default in the Flatpak. With this mode the app keeps its own sshconfig separate, which might be useful if you want to keep things isolated from your regular ~/.ssh/config.

The app is still under heavy development and more features and enhancements are planned.

How to get it?

Downloads for linux and macOS are available from the website or project page on GitHub.

The non-Flatpak versions (RPM, DEB and Arch packages) have extra features including:

• Custom terminal (use your favorite terminal: Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty, etc are all supported)

• File management with Nautilus/Dolphin etc. using GVFS/GIO (you can still enable and use the built-in file manager)

I'd love to hear your feedback/thoughts.
