Tauon SSH Terminal/SFTP client

Easy and fun way to work with remote servers over SSH.

Tauon is a graphical SSH client. It has an enhanced SFTP file browser, SSH terminal emulator, remote resource/process manager, server disk space analyzer, remote text editor, huge remote log viewer and lots of other helpful tools, which makes it easy to work with remote servers. Tauon provides functionality similar to web based control panels but, it works over SSH from local computer, hence no installation required on server. It runs on Linux and Windows. Muon has been tested with several Linux and UNIX servers, like Ubuntu server, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and HP-UX.

Intended audience

The application is targeted mainly towards web/backend developers who often deploy/debug their code on remote servers and not overly fond of complex terminal based commands. It could also be useful for sysadmins as well who manages lots of remote servers manually.

* You must have Java 11 installed minimum

History

This project is the next iteration of another one called Muon. Its last update was a few years ago. I've been doing lots of refactorings and cleaning code in order to fix bugs and make the development of new features easier. The main change respect Muon is that now x11 forwarding (in linux) is supported. Some of the description above is copy-pasted from the Devlinx9 repo ;)

I started this fork when I switched my dev operating system to linux from windows and I realized that MobaXTerm was not compatible. After some research I discovered Snowflake and Muon, but they still have lots of unsolved bugs. I decided to stick to Muon because I think is the only application with the power to become a competitive, good and open source SSH client for linux: No companies, registration forms nor paywalls, and written in a nice language (Java).

I forked Muon into a new application instead of pulling request the original because I knew from the beginning I'd refactor it heavily.

Building from source:

This is a standard maven project. If you have configured Java and Maven use: mvn clean install to build the project. The jar will be created in target directory

Install as deb (Debian)

1. Execute mvn clean install to create the .deb file.
2. Install the deb file:

sudo dpkg -i target/tauonssh_*.deb

Install as flatpak (Experimental)

1. Execute mvn clean install to create the jar. (It will be copied automatically into flatpak's folder)
2. Build the app using flatpak:

cd flatpak
flatpak-builder --force-clean --sandbox --user --install --install-deps-from=flathub --ccache --mirror-screenshots-url=https://dl.flathub.org/media/ --repo=repo builddir org.tauon_ssh.App.yml 

Features:

• Simple graphical interface for common file operations
• Built in text editor with syntax highlighting and support for sudo
• Simply view and search huge log/text files in a jiffy
• Fast powerful file and content search, powered by find command
• Built in terminal and command snippet
• X11 Forwarding
• Fully equipped task manager
• Built in graphical disk space analyzer
