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 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.

SSH Files FAQ
Is SSH Files free?
Yes, SSH Files is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is SSH Files legit?
✅ The SSH Files app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
Great app for connecting to servers and managing connections, while integrating into the Files app. Sometimes connections aren’t persistent, but the simplicity of the option to verify the connection is great for troubleshooting and helps get you back to your work.
Great tool
Amazingly built tool, high quality and configurable. Well maintained with both feature and bug fix releases, and great release notes explaining what’s changed for anyone interested. My only issue is I don’t have to enough reasons to use this app. Keep up the great work!
It is just a great app, period.
This a just a really great app. I am a programmer, and I probably spend about 50% of my time on my iPad in this app. It is just that good. The developer is talented, not to mention both friendly and responsive if you reach out to them. I bought this app many years ago now, myself and I have never once regretted my purchase. I only wish all the software that I used on a daily basis was developed with the same level of attention to detail and quality.
If you want to encourage quality software development, the kind which comes from an artisan and not some megacorp, you are going to want to show that is how you feel by purchasing this app. I really do not see how you could possibly go wrong by doing so.
I'm just being honest; facts. 👍🏻🫡
This is my new favorite iPad terminal
I used to use terminus. It was my favorite for a long time. I usually don’t do monthly subscriptions but there was no other better option. This has completely replaced Terminus for me. I am very happy with the functionality, cost, and features.
Excellent ssh terminal on ios
Ever since I doscovered this on appstore this has become my favorite for accessing remote servers. Good support for private/public key authentication. Very good support. Couple of shortcomings that developer assured me to put on roadmap 1. Support for ssh key forwarding. 2. Support for faster performance using ed25519 ssh key with kdf used as 150. 3. May be embedded x11 server to remotely stream content to ios for e.g. running nedit or any other gui components. This is so far the best ssh terminal and you can buy perpetual license at reasonable cost.
Great app
I love it. And when I need to use it it’s always great!!!
It’s awesome!
Great price. Thank you for being ok without subscription pricing.
Simple Amazing
This is one of those apps that isn’t just useful, but it lets me do a host of things that simply wouldn’t be possible from an iOS device otherwise. I especially appreciate the extremely robust integration with the Shortcuts app. Absolutely indispensable supplement to the very limited built-in SSH actions.
Very Useful
This has been a worthwhile tool both for SFTP and SSH usage.
Absolutely Outstanding
Easily the most full-functioned, enjoyable application on my iPad (useful on the iPhone too). Even supports a fully keyed quick terminal picker & custom fonts. Truly perfect, & the purchase goes to an independent developer. This is the iPad terminal you’ve been looking for.
