Web-based SSH is the provision of Secure Shell (SSH) access through a web browser. SSH is a secure network protocol that is commonly used to remotely control servers, network devices, and other devices. With web-based SSH, users can access and manage these devices using a standard web browser, without the need to install any additional software.
Web-based SSH clients are typically implemented using JavaScript and either Ajax or WebSockets. These clients communicate with the SSH server through a proxy, which allows them to bypass firewalls and other network security measures that may block SSH traffic. This makes web-based SSH a convenient and secure way to access remote servers and devices from any location with an internet connection.
Web-based SSH is useful for a variety of purposes, including system administration, network management, and remote development. It is often used by IT professionals and developers to remotely access and manage servers, as well as by individuals who need to access their home or office computers from a remote location.
