I use a private/public dsa keypair security and would not have a clue how to do that from a terminal/command line, and even if I did, I may need to use it once every few months or so at the most. If you are a regular user, then doing the lot initially from the terminal is no big deal, but for a simple user ( like myself) who does not need it very often, (and when I do the usage is very basic), then having a GUI do all the 'complex' stuff is great. There may be the odd mkdir or rm dir but that is about it. My use of an SSH session to my NAS box usually consists of cd to a directory, ls -l it and use chown or chmod. Yes sure you need it all for complex use, but for my use at least remembering it all is not required. I think I can see what imme is after, as one of the other posters pointed out it is a great way to save and instantly access a session without remembering all the switches, syntax etc.Īs for the comment about needing to know all that anyway to use an SSH session, I would have to partially disagree. Yes I have seen the lniks above, but am at work on a PC at the moment so can not try them and comment on them.
It is what I have been searching for too. Imme, I think I know exactly what you mean.
