PortX Reviews

I can easily open CLI ssh -i mykeys.pem and I am connected, but if you try through this client you get an error about unknown data.

Decent enough as long as you like it EXACTLY how the developer set it up. There is not even an option to change the font, which is incredibly unfriendly to people with vision issues...also, it would be nice to swap to MenloNF so that my prompt for zsh would actually work, unlike with this default fault.

Can you please add the ability to open multiple this app windows?
I can start multiple this app sessions with the "start" command, but this should be just a button click on the toolbar or from the menu items.

And also the ability to detach/re-attach tabs from one this app window to another.

So nice app, but there is problem with language change. If I switch to another app, switch language to any non english, and get back to this app, then I can’t change language in console view.

Sorry I have no clue

If you could add some "Termius" features that would be great!

Also, I feel this lacks "progress indicators". It's not clear when uploading to overwrite a folder that it is uploading, and the processing percentage it is at.

It shows this for top level items in a small circle which replaces the folder icon until the transfer is complete. But when dropping a folder from left pane, to/within a folder on the right pane, there is no indication that this is being transferred. I do confirm the upload has transferred, but not sure if it is or when it is completed, because of no visible indicator. So I think it would be good, and I do suggest a feature or UI imporvement of a constant visible progress indicator. Maybe at the top of the pane in which the transfer is being transferred. Or maybe make the whole pane blink or fade until the transfer is complete. Or just a standard circle indicator attached to PortX window UI.

I originally downloaded this version from PortX store, then noticed their note that the version on their website also includes the local shell. So far I'm loving his app. It's been a great way to manage my frequent ssh/sftp sessions. I appreciate the ability to chance the appearance of the session as well as being able to split the window horizontally or vertically. A couple of things that I would put on my wishlist for future updates would be:

-Setting a default SSH window color (this helps me instantly know that I'm in an ssh session as opposed to the local shell.
-The ability to send the same commands to multiple split window sessions simultaneously. Think xshell.
-Maybe better documentation on how to utilize some of the other features like X forwarding, etc.

Overall, this is a fantastic app. Thank you.

As Subject.
lrzsz is somehow very useful when ssh across multiple isolated networks.

sftp/scp both need to setup some kind of proxy to work, while lrzsz dont.

Using PortX to access Arista switch. Working well. Very happy to find PortX. Best of all, no subscription.

Very nice app!

one of the best ssh clinet in mac

Free and no ads or junk to deal with. This is a basic no-frills no-features ssh client that just works if you need ssh shell access to a *nix machine or anything running an ssh daemon.

Things it could use to make it better:

-Key generator instead of a bit of a kludgy import process of a key.
-PIN or Face-ID to lock PortX .

..I have not needed any support so I cannot coment on responses but not needing support is actually a better scenario for me..

The interface is well designed. Hope the developer makes more apps.
