SSH and SFTP in one application
Open a secure terminal, browse remote files, upload or download data and manage common file operations without maintaining separate connection profiles in separate tools.
SECURE REMOTE WORKSPACE
Secure SSH for every server,
from Windows to Android.
ShellSSH brings terminal sessions, SFTP, protected SSH key management and server monitoring into one focused application for Windows 11 and Android.
ONE CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Manage servers without stitching tools together.
A raw terminal can open a connection, but daily server administration also involves files, credentials, saved hosts and quick status checks. ShellSSH keeps those jobs close to the SSH session.
Use it as a server-management tool with SSH and SFTP for cloud instances, VPS hosts and other SSH-accessible machines—at your desk on Windows or when you need Android access.
Manage multiple servers on Windows
Save named hosts, organize the machines you use regularly and start sessions from a visual server workspace instead of rebuilding every connection by hand.
Protected SSH keys and credentials
Generate and organize ED25519 or RSA identities, use private-key authentication and protect sensitive local data with platform security on Windows and Android.
Monitor server status before connecting
Review reachability, latency and available resource snapshots across saved servers, then open the terminal or SFTP view when action is needed.
Cloud server management from two screens
Use the same focused product model for VPS and cloud instances from a Windows workstation or an Android phone, with optional client-side encrypted synchronization.
A focused Windows 11 SSH client
ShellSSH concentrates on everyday SSH administration: saved hosts, terminal sessions, file transfer, identities and fleet awareness without bundling unrelated remote-desktop protocols.
CHOOSE BY WORKFLOW
A modern alternative to a connection-only client.
ShellSSH is designed for people who want more context around every session while keeping SSH at the center of the product.
Windows 11
Organize multiple servers, launch terminal and SFTP sessions, manage identities and review fleet status from a focused desktop workspace.
Android
Carry a purpose-built mobile SSH workflow with protected keys, saved hosts, visual file transfer and server awareness.
Windows + Android
Keep the product experience familiar across both platforms and optionally synchronize supported records with client-side encryption.

Secure SSH questions.
What makes ShellSSH a secure SSH client for Windows and Android?+
ShellSSH combines strict host verification, protected key storage, on-device encryption and platform security such as Android Keystore and Windows DPAPI. Sensitive synchronized records are encrypted on the device before upload.
What is the best way to manage SSH keys on Android?+
Use a dedicated key manager, protect the app with device authentication, prefer passphrases where appropriate and never paste private keys into messages or notes. ShellSSH keeps key creation, organization and SSH authentication inside the server workspace.
Can ShellSSH manage server credentials across devices?+
ShellSSH supports a consistent Windows and Android workflow with optional encrypted synchronization. Encryption happens on the device, and the sync service receives encrypted records rather than plaintext credentials or private keys.
Is ShellSSH a Termius alternative for Android?+
It is an alternative for people who want Android SSH access plus a matching Windows experience, integrated SFTP, protected key management and server-status visibility. Compare the exact features and workflow that matter to you before switching.
How is ShellSSH different from PuTTY?+
PuTTY is known for direct, dependable Windows connections. ShellSSH adds a visual saved-server workspace, SFTP, SSH key management, monitoring and an Android companion workflow around the terminal experience.
Can I use ShellSSH to manage cloud servers?+
Yes. You can save and organize SSH-accessible cloud servers and VPS instances, connect with a password or private key, transfer files over SFTP and check available status information from the server workspace.
