iTerminal Pro – SSH Telnet

Very useful, although clipboard functionality would be handy

Nice app, but it will not work with more modern openssh servers, as it lacks compatible ciphers.

It is beautiful and elegant. I am hoping it is still under development I have a few suggestions

Getting a rsa public key into this app is impossible

This app will not generate key pairs nor will it accept open-ssh private keys. For my purposes it was a waste of money. I can not login to my server using a key.

I can monitor production Unix systems and run scripts on the go. Very handy.

I use oh-my-zsh on my linux instances, normal ssh will pass through all the awesomeness of zsh as well as the font and theme. Using this terminal, my zsh font is forcibly overwritten by the app’s font, and the theme is broken, making everything that makes zsh handy at a glance completely useless. There is other terminal apps that don’t override themes, and my preferences in zsh carry through perfectly. Other than rendering the features of my normal shell obsolete, this terminal works great, so long as appearance means nothing. Allowing users to set their terminal appearance is fine, so long as the customization is more than 5 colors for font and background

I use it to connect to servers I administer via ssh, it works well for that. Allows use of keys for logging in, works well with my Logitech Slim Combo keyboard on my ipad pro from 2016. It is nice to be able to have a reliable ssh client that I can carry around with me for when I need to fix somethiing. Had a problem show up recently (12/2021) where the Apple iOS change clobbered the arrow keys, messaged tech support and they got right on it. Note that the copy function is kludgy when copying large blocks of test, but I don’t need to do that often. This is my most used app other than mail and browsers.

I don’t know if this app works or not. I have tried ssh-Leyden keys that obviously do not work, converted .pub->pem keys that do not work, and I even tried a key gen’d on Debian and it doesn’t work either. I’m sick of trying to use keys with this app and I want my money back! I wish zero stars were accepted because that would be my rating!

Update 20200228: CRITICAL bug. When returning to iTERM from a different iOS application, the existing ssh session is stalled. Terminal session keepalive not currently supported. This is a SERIOUS problem for use of multiple applications simultaneously. Fix this and I will change from 2 to 5 star rating. Original: Have searched everywhere for ipad (pro) ios 13 compatible SSH terminal emulator for Linux/Unix supporting copy and paste text functions, traditionally CTL+INS and SHIFT+INS (where physical Apple keyboard either lacks INS key or if does have INS key sends wrong characters) and found this iTERM as THE solution. When using vi vim editor, you can click on iTERM displayed ios format edit icon to enter 'copy' mode, then use a physical mouse and pointer (now that ios 13 supports mice) to highlight the text. Iterm then automatically displays a copy button, can use the display keyboard for ESC escape function. Then move cursor to desired location w/ vi commands, i insert mode, right click mouse and iTERM displays a 'paste' button for use! LOVE IT! Now, if they could incorporate iTERM into an RDP session from iOS to a remote Windows VM would be absolutely a jewel!
