Applications designed for Apple’s mobile operating system that facilitate secure remote access to network devices or servers using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. These tools enable users to execute commands, manage files, and troubleshoot systems from an iPhone or iPad. For example, an administrator might use such an application to remotely restart a server or review log files.
These applications offer portability and convenience for network administrators and developers. Their importance lies in the ability to maintain systems and respond to issues from virtually anywhere. Historically, command-line access was limited to desktop environments, but these applications extend that functionality to mobile devices, improving responsiveness and reducing downtime.
