About DropBear

Dropbear is a relatively small SSH server and client. It runs on a variety of Unix platforms. Dropbear is open-source software, distributed under an MIT-style license. Dropbear is particularly useful for "embedded"-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers. If you want to be notified of new releases, or for general discussion of Dropbear, you can subscribe to the relatively low-volume mailing list. With a small memory footprint suitable for memory-constrained environments, Dropbear can compile to a 110kB statically linked binary with uClibc on x86 (only minimal options selected) Dropbear server implements X11 forwarding and authentication-agent forwarding for OpenSSH clients. The server, client, keygen, and key converter can be compiled into a single binary (like busybox) Features can easily be disabled when compiling to save space. The multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts in a single command.

Terminals
Terminals
For developers and system administrators, it’s a necessity to frequently log on to Linux servers from a Windows computer. Unlike Linux OS, Windows does not have a native ssh client. Putty is the most used freeware ssh client for Windows OS. It supports telnet and ssh protocols. One constraint with Putty is that it does not have support for tabbed windows. Putty Connection manager is developed to solve this problem but it has got a lot of issues in using the utility. Terminals supports not just telnet and ssh but also RDP, VNC, and RAS connections. You can save the login id and password of the remote servers and with a single click, you can connect to the server. You can create a group of servers and with a single click, you can open connections to all the servers added to the group. You can save multiple user credentials for the same server and can select the user name while connecting to the server.

An easy and fun way to work with remote servers over SSH. Muon 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.

Muon has been tested with several Linux and UNIX servers, like Ubuntu server, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and HP-UX. The application is targeted mainly toward web/backend developers who often deploy/debug their code on remote servers and are not overly fond of complex terminal-based commands.
