## PortX Reviews in United States

### **--- "misleading"
does not support sftp despite the appstore name indicating it does
-- T ejas, 2025-08-05

### ***** "Great app for SSH without intrusive ads or paywall!"
This app works flawlessly for connecting to my various endpoints. It supports password and key authentication, multiple servers, and has an easy to use interface that allows you to organize servers into folders. The most fully featured user-respecting and non-paywalled app on the App Store.
-- Ian7716, 2025-07-27

### ***** "So far, so good"
Ive been using this for a few months now, and it really works well.  I have some small issues, like with my exiting the remote ssh session and the terminal not closing as if it’s hung, but this is easily overcome by closing with the “x” button.  Well-done!
-- rastyk, 2025-06-09

### ***** "Clean, easy, and just plain works"
I'm so grateful that unlike Termius, this works out of the box. No nonsense, no scam, no need for more personal info than a hospital does. It just does what it says it does.

Obvious things like copy-paste, resizing, and color work, which seems to be a Rube Goldberg on some clients. I'm impressed by the intuitive integration of international characters. It is always fun to find new and novel UI controls.

It even runs on Windows and Linux, so I can finally shift to one client everywhere.
-- ColdCoreDesign, 2025-01-28

### ***-- "Cannot use local proxy  to connet ssh"
cannot use local proxy to connet ssh,just like Xshell,proxy just like '172.0.01:8080'
-- geekflyair, 2024-10-17

### ***** "Fantastic"
The interface is well designed. Hope the developer makes more apps.
-- krwigo, 2024-09-17

### ***-- "Problem with language"
So nice app, but there is problem with language change. If I switch to another app, switch language to any non english, and get back to PortX, then I can’t change language in console view.
-- Newerew, 2024-07-12

### ***** "Simple - but works perfectly"
Free and no ads or junk to deal with. This is a basic no-frills no-features ssh client that just works if you need ssh shell access to a *nix machine or anything running an ssh daemon.

Things it could use to make it better:

-Key generator instead of a bit of a kludgy import process of a key.
-PIN or Face-ID to lock the app.

..I have not needed any support so I cannot coment on responses but not needing support is actually a better scenario for me..
-- LoneBandit, 2024-06-08

### ***-- "Works fine enough for me - but need some options"
Can you please add the ability to open multiple PortX windows? 
I can start multiple PortX sessions with the "start" command, but this should be just a button click on the toolbar or from the menu items.

And also the ability to detach/re-attach tabs from one PortX window to another.
-- seasonal Bloom, 2023-06-22

### ***** "Nice App, is there any plan for lrzsz support ?"
As Subject.
lrzsz is somehow very useful when ssh across multiple isolated networks.

sftp/scp both need to setup some kind of proxy to work, while lrzsz dont.
-- billywei.tx, 2023-05-22

### ***** "great"
one of the best ssh clinet in mac
-- saeidazm, 2022-11-19

### **--- "Crashes or needs reboot constantly"
M1 Macbook Pro Gen 1 - This program crashes or locks up on me constantly
-- rickyl01010, 2022-05-09

### ***** "It works well with macOS Catalina"
Using this app to access Arista switch.  Working well.  Very happy to find this app.  Best of all, no subscription.
-- Rich in Indiana, 2022-03-26

### ***** "Works Very Well"
If you could add some "Termius" features that would be great!

Also, I feel this lacks "progress indicators". It's not clear when uploading to overwrite a folder that it is uploading, and the processing percentage it is at.

It shows this for top level items in a small circle which replaces the folder icon until the transfer is complete. But when dropping a folder from left pane, to/within a folder on the right pane, there is no indication that this is being transferred. I do confirm the upload has transferred, but not sure if it is or when it is completed, because of no visible indicator. So I think it would be good, and I do suggest a feature or UI imporvement of a constant visible progress indicator. Maybe at the top of the pane in which the transfer is being transferred. Or maybe make the whole pane blink or fade until the transfer is complete. Or just a standard circle indicator attached to the app window  UI.
-- ThePerfectWill.com, 2022-03-22

### ***** "So far I love it"
I originally downloaded this version from the App store, then noticed their note that the version on their website also includes the local shell.  So far I'm loving his app.  It's been a great way to manage my frequent ssh/sftp sessions.  I appreciate the ability to chance the appearance of the session as well as being able to split the window horizontally or vertically.  A couple of things that I would put on my wishlist for future updates would be:

-Setting a default SSH window color (this helps me instantly know that I'm in an ssh session as opposed to the local shell.
-The ability to send the same commands to multiple split window sessions simultaneously.  Think xshell.
-Maybe better documentation on how to utilize some of the other features like X forwarding, etc.

Overall, this is a fantastic app.  Thank you.
-- LostRhoades, 2022-01-27

### **--- "Kind of OK, as long as you don't like options"
Decent enough as long as you like it EXACTLY how the developer set it up. There is not even an option to change the font, which is incredibly unfriendly to people with vision issues...also, it would be nice to swap to MenloNF so that my prompt for zsh would actually work, unlike with this default fault.
-- BrianPetty, 2021-11-19

### ****- "Cant import xShell sessions."
Cant import the xShell sessions from windows to mac. Getting an error. Is there any specific way to import them into portx. Please provide a guide to import xshell sessions into portx.

Are you using PortX's built-in importer (More Button -> Session -> Import/Export)? Please provide the following information:

1. What version of Xshell are you using? xshell 5
2. What error message are you seeing? There was a problem gertting the seesion. Invalid session, of file cannot be accessed.
-- Malithwee, 2021-08-10

### *---- "Does not support PEM"
I can easily open CLI ssh -i mykeys.pem and I am connected, but if you try through this client you get an error about unknown data.
-- RyZenMAC, 2021-06-11
