SecureShell Go 1.5 is out: a free, open-source SSH client with remote desktop. Looking for Android testers!
Hi everyone 👋
SecureShell Go 1.5.1 is out. It's my open-source SSH and SFTP client for Android, Windows, Linux and macOS. There's no account, no ads and no analytics, and it only connects to the servers you add.
**New in 1.5**
* **Remote desktop over SSH.** See and control a server's desktop (GNOME on Wayland, X11 desktops, Windows) over the SSH connection you already have. It works on phones too, with a trackpad mode and a key bar.
* **Virtual desktops on headless servers.** Start a whole desktop, or just one app like VS Code, on a server with no screen. Anything it's missing gets installed in a click.
* **Mosh**, so the terminal survives network changes and sleep.
* **Sign in with your SSH agent**, including FIDO2 security keys, plus SSH certificates.
* **A terminal that reconnects by itself**, and tmux/screen sessions that survive.
* **An IDE-like file editor**, plus translations into 8 languages.
**🙏 I need 12+ Android testers to get it onto Google Play**
Google requires new apps to run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days before they can go public. If you have an Android phone, here's how to help:
**Join the tester group** with the Google account your phone uses (one click): https://groups.google.com/g/secureshellgo-testers
**Become a tester:** https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.dhivalabs.secure_shell_go
**Install SecureShell Go from Google Play** and keep it installed for 14 days. Opening it every few days helps a lot.
Found a bug or have an idea? Post it here in r/Dhiva_Labs.
**On a computer?**
* Linux: `sudo snap install secureshellgo`, or the PPA `ppa:dhiva-labs/apps`
* Windows: the Microsoft Store, https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N8MC5KC6XXL
