GUI wrappers around SSH
I just spent most of the weekend writing a tool that provides a nice GUI frontend
for SSH, specifically for creating SSH tunnels. Yeah, I know about
SSH Tunnel Manager, but it has
a fiddly UI, and, as I found when looking at the source, the author doesn’t care
too much about security (it writes your password to a short-lived file in /tmp).
So about 10 hours of hacking later, I had a nice little app with an
NSStatusItem which showed the connected state of tunnels,
and some tunnel editing UI.
Then Google presented me with SSHKeychain. Wow, what a neat little app. It does everything mine did, and more. Hopefully it will make using CVS over SSH with mozilla a little less painful.
