The original
Upterm
An open-source tool for sharing a terminal session with others securely over SSH.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Upterm.
sshx
A command-line tool that shares your terminal by link as a collaborative, end-to-end encrypted browser session.
sshx shares a terminal through a browser link with end-to-end encryption, live cursors and chat, while guests of Upterm join with a standard SSH client.
ttyd
A command-line tool that shares a terminal session over the web in a browser.
ttyd shares a terminal session in a web browser from a server you run, with ZMODEM and trzsz file transfer, rather than through SSH guests.
WeTTY
A self-hosted terminal that runs in a web browser over HTTP or HTTPS.
WeTTY serves a self-hosted terminal in the browser over HTTPS, suited to server access rather than Upterm's NAT-traversing pair sessions.
