cdxssh
Features
No bloat, no Java, no nag screens. A native-compiled client that starts fast and stays out of your way.
Double-click a file on the server and it opens in VS Code, Notepad++, PyCharm — whatever you've set as your editor. Hit save, and cdx-ssh uploads the change straight back to the server. No download–edit–reupload dance, ever.
SSH terminals, SFTP and FTP file browsers, Telnet and Raw TCP — every connection lives in the same tabbed window with live status dots.
Full xterm-256color emulation with clickable links, adjustable font size and scrollback, and optional auto-clear of MOTD noise on connect.
Browse remote files over SFTP or FTP. New folder, rename, delete, multi-select, and recursive uploads and downloads.
Pop open a resizable SFTP panel right next to any SSH terminal — no second app, no second connection to set up.
Passwords and passphrases live in the Windows Credential Manager — never in plaintext config files. Key-based auth supported too.
Drop files from Explorer onto the app to upload. Drag remote files out of the app onto your desktop to download. It just works — like they were local.
Saved profiles grouped by protocol, one-click reconnect from your recents, and a Quick Connect bar for one-off sessions.
Every upload and download shows live progress in the status bar — with a cancel button and an "open folder" shortcut when it lands.
Optionally show your connection count on Discord while you work. Toggle it off in settings any time.
One native-compiled .exe. Run it from a USB stick with zero install, or use the installer for Start Menu and shortcuts.
