Love shellfish
Both best sftp and ssh client on the App Store.
Description
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 Reviews
I've been using this for years. Rock solid.
Great app for accessing files on SFTP servers as if they were files on your iPhone.
One of the best ssh clients for iOS
Works like a charm. Especially love the Shortcuts actions.
Great with Textastic
I use ShellFish in combination with Textastic to edit files directly on remote servers. It is very stable and fast. These two apps (plus Blink) have made me able to travel with my iPad only. Recommended!
The most useful SSH client for iOS
There are several great ssh clients available for iOS, but for day-to-day use this is probably the most useful. My one wish for improvement is to add support for Mosh, and caching/keep-alive/something to make 2FA SSH logins usable.
The BEST SSH app
It’s simple and everything just works. I think the creator built the kind of SSH app they would want to use themselves because everything else on the App Store is too much/too ugly/too complicated/takes up too much space. This one is 10/10
Best SSH and file transfer app for iOS
ShellFish continues to be far and away the best of all the SSH apps out there… I’ve tried them all, from Prompt to Blink and everything In between. ShellFish literally does EVERYTHING, and has so many cool features (like being able to show your terminal as a PIP window). There are so many “hidden” features to discover. The shell integration is super-slick, and the dedicated “paste” button makes this the ultimate tool for anybody who does stuff with remote servers AND files (since it can also act as an iOS file provider over SSH!)
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.
Perfect part of my file syncing solution
Excellent! I use this to access a remote server with syncthing as a DIY file sharing solution
Great!
an amazing app, easy enough for a self taught idiot to use, and powerful enough for a self-taught idiot to get her -- i mean -- 'one' --'s self in trouble:) But that'll teach me to pipe unknown scripts from interwebs directly to bash. Seriously though, this app is very powerful but also very beautiful, and CONSTANTLY being updated. I feel guilty for not paying more. THANK YOU:))
