Lightning fast SSH terminal with remote file access. No other app fuses your SSH servers and iOS devices as well as Secure ShellFish. Tap Get and see for yourself.
Terminal supports standard text editing gestures for selection, scrolling and copy/paste as well as custom gestures to send arrow keys and tabulator making shell entry and full screen editing with vim or emacs delightful. Bar above the keyboard makes it easy to type special keys and insert snippets.
Select and drag filenames out of the terminal as actual files and drag files from other apps into the terminal to upload. Use built-in tmux support to persist terminal sessions if you lose Internet access, pick existing sessions with thumbnails and Handoff sessions between devices.
Server file system is available in the Files app and recently accessed files and directories are cached to make them available when offline. Use apps like Textastic and iA Writer for a native editing experience working on your remote server files.
Upload files or entire directories from the share sheet with minimal friction as the last destination directory for each kind of file is remembered or automate file transfers in the Shortcuts app.
Connect to your Mac, Synology NAS and any other SSH server or create new Digital Ocean droplets or GitHub Codespaces right from the app.
Secure ShellFish is useful as a free app and paying pro users can disable ads in the terminal, upload through the Files app and configure unlimited number of servers.

Love it
This is a terrific app that provides a lightning fast and easy to navigate interface for remotely accessing devices (in my case a Raspberry Pi). I am currently using the unpaid version but plan to buy outright. This developer also has a great handle on Git repos. If you need something to manage those see his Git management app, Working Copy.
Best app purchase for a sysadmin - home or pro
Excellent value for money. Tmux integration alone saves me a lot of time and frustration. Lots of goodies and solid features. Clean UI. Efficient. Also the developer is quick to respond if you have questions or suggestions. Would recommend.

Neat piece of software, essential for any sysadmin
Great SSH terminal, and the file access functionality is awesome. Highly recommended to get the pro upgrade

2023 updated review
Utility further improved now that it runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and manages ssh keys so effortlessly
Great productivity tool
I use this app daily to integrate my Synology NAS into files and also to SSH into remote computers. Great customer support too.
Seems great so far
It has been good to use so far, no issues with it. Just editing files located on my computer through ssh and vim on my ipad
“Do you like ShellFish?” Revised to 5 Star Rating.
Updated Review -> Developer response has completely resolved below issues with the app. I have changed rating to 5 stars to reflect this. This app is the best you will find on iOS and kicks the pants of the popular ‘Termius’ app!
Please remove this Siri suggestion that always shows up. It always reappears regardless of what I do. I’ve already paid for your app. It’s great and I use it daily. Would be 5 stars except for this annoying and repetitive notification.
amazing
Integration with iOS is amazing but that’s gravy, for me this is the first app i’ve used that actually seems to handle ssh keys properly - i.e., generate on device, and install on remote machine rather than screwing around copying private keys about and somehow importing them. Keeps sessions open, runs in the background, share sheet support, in place editing support via textastic or similar.... great!
Great app for file access over SSH
Works great, super handy for editing or accessing files on remote servers.
