Built for 2027 · not 2004

Leave PuTTY and WinSCP for a modern SSH workspace.

SSH, SFTP, SCP and FTP — together under one roof.
SSH Command unifies shell, file transfer, an encrypted vault, and explicit sudo — one calm desktop app for Mac and Windows. Designed for operators who still live on Linux servers, but refuse twenty-year-old UI.

For people who grew up on PuTTY + WinSCP — and are ready for one app that does both, better.

Why switch

PuTTY opened the door. WinSCP moved the files. 2027 needs one room.

Two classic tools from another era. One modern workspace that keeps the power and drops the friction.

>

Beyond PuTTY

PuTTY is a terminal. SSH Command is a full session: shell, dual file panes, transfers, and vaulted hosts — without launching a second app.

⇄

Beyond WinSCP

WinSCP is a file courier with a shell bolted on. SSH Command treats files and shell as equal citizens in one multiplexed connection.

Built for now

Light UI, retina-friendly chrome, multi-select like a modern Finder, Mac Dock behavior, and Windows builds — designed for how we work in 2027.

Honest comparison

Why SSH Command beats the old stack

If you’ve lived in PuTTY for the shell and WinSCP for the files, this is the upgrade path.

One app vs two classics from twenty years ago

PuTTY (1999) and WinSCP (2000) still work — but they were never designed for a unified, modern operator workflow. SSH Command is.

Capability SSH Command PuTTY WinSCP
Interactive SSH shell Built-in xterm workspace Core strength Secondary / limited
SFTP dual-pane files Local ↔ remote, first-class Needs PSFTP / another app Core strength
Shell + files, one session Same SSH connection Terminal only Split mindset
UI designed for 2027 Light, modern, calm 1990s dialog chrome Early-2000s desktop UI
Encrypted local host vault Master-password vault Sessions / pageant era Stored sites, dated UX
Create / remove / multi-select Toolbar + Shift / ⌘ select Not a file manager Possible, clunky flows
Explicit scoped sudo Armed per chmod / chown Type it yourself Manual / awkward
Idle auto-disconnect Configurable guard Stays open forever Limited / manual
macOS + Windows Native builds both Windows-first heritage Windows-centric
Multiplexed hosts Connected rail sessions Many windows Many windows
Workspace

Everything the session needs — nothing from 20 years ago.

Where SSH, SFTP, SCP and FTP stay together under one roof. Familiar power for PuTTY and WinSCP veterans, in a UI that doesn’t fight you.

SSH Command connected to a server: local and remote file panes side by side with a live shell underneath
One connection, three ways to work: browse files on both sides, keep the shell open below, and elevate only when you need to.

01

Dual panes

Local and remote side by side. Up, new folder, new file, remove with confirm — plus batch upload / download.

02

Live shell

Search Linux commands and send them into the live terminal. Same connection as your files.

03

Vault & sudo

Save hosts under a master password. Elevate chmod / chown only when you ask — then drop privileges.

Free for everyone

The connection stays up and gets you where you need to go.

04

Jump hosts

Reach servers behind a bastion. Type the jump host, or just use a host whose ~/.ssh/config has ProxyJump.

05

Port forwarding

Local, remote and SOCKS tunnels, remembered per server and started automatically if you like.

06

Auto-reconnect

If the network drops, SSH Command retries on its own and only trusts host keys you already accepted.

Pro tools

For the days you run more than one server.

Paid users only. Pro tools are included with the commercial licence ($39, one-time) — see pricing.

07

Folder sync PRO

Compare a local and a remote folder, review every change, then apply. Mirror deletes always ask first.

08

Scheduled transfers PRO

Run uploads, downloads and syncs on a schedule while the app is open. Unattended jobs refuse unknown host keys.

09

Run on many servers PRO

Send one command to several connected servers at once and see each result side by side.

10

Saved scripts PRO

Keep the commands you reuse, with placeholders filled in per server.

11

Session restore PRO

Reopen yesterday’s servers and folders in one click. No passwords are stored in the session file.

Made for operators

For people who live on Linux servers.

You already know what you want to do. SSH Command gets the tools out of the way, so the work is just the work.

  • Shell and file panes on one connection — no second app
  • Upload, download, and manage files with multi-select
  • Search Linux commands and send them to the live terminal
  • Several servers open side by side in the Connected rail

Vault & sudo

Your credentials stay yours.

Saved logins live in an encrypted vault on your own computer, protected by a master password only you know. Root access is something you ask for, not a default.

  • Master-password vault, stored locally and encrypted
  • Elevate with sudo only when a task needs it
  • Drop privileges with one click
  • Strong key derivation (scrypt) with AES-256-GCM, and the vault locks itself when idle
  • Host keys are verified against the ones you trusted — changes are blocked, not ignored
  • Transfers write to a temporary file first, so an interrupted copy never leaves a half-written file
“Connect once. Move files. Elevate when you mean to. Then get back to the work.”
