Introduction

The SSH Console is a Firefox 6 (and Firefox 5) add-on that provides a shell-like terminal that can be used to connect to and interact with remote servers over SSH. The terminal provides VT100 terminal emulation, which also enables the use of remote shell commands such as man, less and Vi.

Install the add-on in Firefox and then use the "Tools > SSH Console" menu to launch the interface.

Requirements

This extension requires Firefox 6 or Firefox 5 and you'll need to install the platform specific version of the add-on that matches the Firefox version you use.

Details

This add-on uses the Python Paramiko module to open SSH connections, and also makes use of PyXPCOM which provides the Python bindings for Firefox to use.

The add-on contains a full version of Python 2.6.6 (for the specific platform used).
