From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SSH managers on Linux? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

Curious what folks are using to organise their remote connections? I liked WinSSHTerm and have tried replacing it with Remote Desktop Manager, but it seems a bit broken (fonts look terrible in a terminal, sftp doesn't work, RDP sort of works, but it's not great).

RDP is not a must. Folders, ssh, key auth, sftp and scp are the main things I'm looking for. Currently considering Remmina but though I would check if ppl have strong views on this topic before trying the next app.

I'm using cinnamon with mint 22.

Odd that you have so many issues with Remote Desktop Manager, I use it all the time from my linux desktop, and both rdp and ssh work flawlessly

Remmina proves a reliable solution for remote desktop access when a graphical interface is required. However, for more streamlined operations, terminal-based SSH access ssh username@remote_host remains the preferred method. Establishing passwordless authentication is, naturally, a matter of convenience. The command ssh-copy-id username@remote_host facilitates this process. It’s a rather elegant solution, isn't it? A testament to the power of minimalism.
