HF Connect
A free desktop app to work on your servers: SSH terminals with SFTP and port forwarding, and file transfer over SFTP, FTPS and FTP, with one list of saved hosts.
HF Connect is HostFog's free app for working on your servers, for Windows, macOS and Linux: terminals on your servers with their files beside the terminal, and files moved between your computer and your servers. Everything starts from one list of saved hosts. (HF Connect replaces HF SSH and HF FTP; it opens the hosts they saved.)
| Terminals | Files | |
|---|---|---|
| Connects with | SSH | SFTP, FTPS (explicit and implicit), FTP |
| Main screen | Terminal tabs with an SFTP panel | This computer and the server side by side, and a transfer queue |
| Also | Port forwarding (local, remote, SOCKS), jump hosts | Pause and resume transfers, speed limit, permissions |
The two work together: Open files here in a terminal opens its server's files in the folder the terminal is in, and Open terminal here in Files opens a terminal in the folder shown.
Passwords, private keys and API tokens are kept only in your system keychain (Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain, the Secret Service on Linux), never in a file. Every server's key is checked: a new server asks once, and a server whose key changes is reported before anything is sent to it.
