WebSSH is a Python web application that provides a browser-based SSH client for connecting to SSH servers. It is built on Tornado, Paramiko, and xterm.js, exposing a terminal in the browser over WebSockets.
Use cases
- access ssh servers from a browser
- web-based terminal for remote servers
- ssh into machines without installing a client
- provide browser ssh access behind a firewall
- manage servers from a tablet or chromebook
- self-hosted web ssh gateway
When to choose
- you need SSH access from a browser with no local client
- you want a lightweight self-hosted web terminal
- you need password, key, and TOTP authentication in a web UI
When to avoid
- you need full-featured terminal emulation beyond xterm.js capabilities
- you require multi-user session management or auditing features
- exposing SSH via a web app is unacceptable in your security posture
