This article mainly shows you "what are the SSH graphical interface tools in Linux", the content is simple and clear, and I hope it can help you solve your doubts. Let me lead you to study and learn about "what are the SSH graphical interface tools in Linux".

1 、 PuTTY

Anyone who is experienced in battle knows PuTTY. In fact, PuTTY is the de facto standard tool for connecting to the Linux server through SSH from the Windows environment. But PuTTY is not only applicable to Windows. In fact, PuTTY can also be installed on Linux from its standard repository. The feature list of PuTTY includes:

Save session

Link via IP address or hostname

Define alternate SSH port

Link type definition

Log record

Keyboard, ringing, appearance, connection, etc.

Local and remote tunnel configuration

Support for agents

Support for X11 tunnel

PuTTY GUI is primarily a way to save SSH sessions, so you can more easily manage the various Linux servers and desktops that you need to log in and log out remotely. After connecting to the Linux server from PuTTY, you will have a terminal window that can be run. At this point, you may ask yourself, why not just work in the terminal window? For some people, the ease of saving a session does make PuTTY worthwhile.

Installing PuTTY on Linux is easy. For example, you can execute commands on a Debian-based distribution:

Sudo apt-get install-y putty

After installation, you can run PuTTY GUI from the desktop menu or execute the command putty. In the "PuTTY Configuration" window (figure 1), type the hostname or IP address at the "HostName (or IP address)" location, configure the port Port (if it is not the default value of 22), select "SSH" from the "Connection type", and then click "Open Open".

Figure 1:PuTTY connection configuration window.

After the connection is established, you will be prompted to enter the user credentials on the remote server (figure 2).

Figure 2: log in to the remote server using PuTTY.

To save the session (so you don't have to type the remote server information all the time), fill in the IP address (or hostname), configure the port and connection type, and then (before clicking "Open"), type the name of the link in the text area at the top of "Saved Sessions", and then click "Save". This will save the configuration for this session. To connect to a saved session, select it from the Saved Sessions window, click Load, and then click Open. You will then be prompted to log in to the remote server by entering the remote credentials on the remote server.

2 、 EasySSH

Although EasySSH [3] does not provide a large number of configuration options available in PuTTY, it is (as the name implies) very easy to use. One of the best features of EasySSH is to provide a tabbed interface, so you can open multiple SSH connections and quickly switch between them. The features of EasySSH include:

Grouping (you can group tabs for a more productive experience).

Save the user name / password.

Appearance options.

Local and remote tunnels are supported.

Installing EasySSH on the Linux desktop is easy because the application can be installed through flatpak (which means you have to install Flatpak on your system). After installing flatpak, add the EasySSH using the following command:

Sudo flatpak remote-add-- if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakreposudo flatpak install flathub com.github.muriloventuroso.easyssh

Run EasySSH using the following command:

Flatpak run com.github.muriloventuroso.easyssh

You can click the "+" button in the upper left corner to open the EasySSH application. In the window that appears (figure 3), configure the SSH connection as needed.

Figure 3: adding a connection in EasySSH is simple.

After you add the connection, it will be displayed in the left navigation of the main window (figure 4).

Figure 4:EasySSH main window.

To connect to a remote server in EasySSH, select it from the left navigation and click the "Connect" button (figure 5).

Figure 5: connect to a remote server using EasySSH.

One of the considerations for EasySSH is that you must save the user name and password in the connection configuration (otherwise the connection will fail). This means that anyone with access to the desktop running EasySSH can access your server remotely without knowing the password. Therefore, you must always remember to lock the desktop screen when you are out (and be sure to use a strong password). The last thing you want is to avoid unnecessary login attacks on the server.

3 、 Terminator

Terminator is not actually SSH GUI. Instead, Terminator functions as a single window that allows you to run multiple terminals (or even a group of terminals) at a time. In fact, you can open Terminator, split the window vertically and horizontally (until you have all the terminals you need), and then connect to all remote Linux servers with the standard SSH command (figure 6).

Figure 6:Terminator is divided into three different windows, each connected to a different Linux server.

To install Terminator, execute the following command:

Sudo apt-get install-y terminator

After installation, open the tool from the desktop menu or with the command terminator. After opening the window, you can right-click inside Terminator and select "Split Horizontally" or "Split Vertically". Continue to split the terminals until you open the desired terminals, and then start managing these servers remotely. The caveat for using Terminator is that it is not a standard SSH GUI tool because it does not save your session or give you quick access to these servers. In other words, you will always have to log in to the remote Linux server manually. However, being able to view remote Secure Shell sessions in parallel does make it much easier to manage multiple remote computers.
