Features & Capabilities

Secure Shell is a powerful Chrome extension that acts as an xterm-compatible terminal emulator and standalone SSH client. It connects directly to SSH servers using Native-Client technology, eliminating the need for external proxies. Included is a robust SFTP command-line client, and on ChromeOS, users can create SFTP mounts accessible via the Files app for easy file management. Additionally, an alpha version of Mosh is integrated for improved connection reliability. This extension has been rigorously tested over multiple years to ensure stability and performance. For further information, a detailed FAQ and changelog are available, along with community support through the chromium-hterm mailing list.
