SSH anywhere on anything

Using AJAX based consoleFISH you can log into any server via SSH and have full access to your site over this funky emulated bash terminal. It's so effective I managed to fix the news admin panel for this site (so I could post this article) in less than a minute.

It has a very new version of vim and colours files, text and syntax just like normal.

The downsides however are quite large. There is a captcha that contains obscure badly displayed words that kicks in roughly every 45 seconds unless you 3 euro's a month. Then there's the tin-hat crowd who I am sure will not like the idea of sending ssh passwords (especially server root logins) to a third party.

These downsides are for you to weigh up, but if you have no other way to access SSH, this could be a very handy tool.

Let me know what scrapes this service has got you out of.

had to access and reboot my web server from my company's intranet. great tool, thanks for the link.

(and also the other tools on www.serfish.com are cool, in particular their jar search engine and the pop3/smtp proxy)

You have a point. After complaining about their captcha so much I really should have spent a little more time on this one!

It just about works, if you can read it! ;-)
