Web Terminal

Overview

The web terminal lets you log in to hosts from the browser without a local SSH client and includes a file manager for uploading and downloading files. It can be opened from two places:

• the Web Terminal button in the top-right corner of the host management page;
• the terminal icon in the header, which opens it in a new window.

Working in the terminal

• The host list on the left mirrors the groups of host management and can be searched by name / IP. Click a host to open a terminal tab; the same host can have several connections at once.
• Double-click a tab to duplicate the window, right-click a tab to duplicate, reconnect, or close tabs to the right / other tabs / all tabs.
• PageUp / PageDown scroll the output, Ctrl + C copies the selection, and the width of the terminal area can be dragged.
• Terminal settings in the top-right corner let you choose font size, font family and color theme; the settings are stored in the browser.

Tip

• Terminal sessions run over WebSocket. If a tab stays empty, check the reverse proxy configuration as described in Usage FAQ.
• Leaving the page asks for confirmation so that active sessions are not closed by accident.

File manager

Click File Manager inside a terminal tab to browse the file system of that host. The file manager can also be opened directly from the host list as a standalone mode that only shows files and does not require terminal permission.

• Enter directories, go up, or type a path and press Enter to jump; recently visited paths are remembered for quick switching.
• Sort by name, size or modification time and toggle Show hidden files.
• Upload: pick local files to upload into the current directory; a progress bar is shown while uploading.
• Download: click the download button of a file to save it locally.
• Delete: remove a file from the host (requires the separate delete permission).
