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
