Answers to common questions about Terminalus functionality and security.
Open Terminalus, create a new host, specify host, port and user, then choose authentication (password or key) and click Connect. The connection will open in a new tab.
Yes. You can group hosts by projects or environments and move them between groups with drag & drop, so production, staging and client servers stay separate.
Terminalus works with SSH, SFTP and RDP. You can open a terminal session, a file manager session, a remote desktop or multiple modes for the same host in different tabs.
For each host you can create reusable command snippets. They appear above the terminal and can be run with a single click, which is handy for frequent maintenance tasks.
The SFTP file manager supports single and bulk copy operations in both directions, creating and renaming files and folders, showing hidden files and unpacking archives into a temporary folder on your Mac.
Terminalus logs all file operations. You can view the recent history of uploads, downloads and deletions directly in the app to see what happened on each host.
Yes. You can add several SSH keys and choose which one to use for each host, keeping personal, work and client servers separate.
Terminalus is designed for macOS and iPadOS. On Mac you get a full terminal and file manager, while the iPad version focuses on mobile access to your servers.
Yes. Terminalus supports RDP connections for working with remote desktops on Windows servers and workstations. RDP sessions open inside the app alongside SSH and SFTP.
RDP sessions include full clipboard support: you can copy and paste data between your local device and the remote server, including fast copy operations.
Yes. Terminalus automatically adapts the remote server screen size to the app window, so the RDP session stays usable without manual resolution changes.
