For comfortable work with multiple servers via the SSH protocol, we recommend using advanced SSH clients, which include:

• Session manager
• File transfer
• Port forwarding

All these features are available in 2 SSH clients for the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. Both versions are provided in 2 versions, free and paid. We will consider the free versions, which have some limitations, but they are not significant and therefore remain the most convenient of the existing ones.

1. Xshell (Netsarang)

We are considering a free version for home users; the session manager is very convenient and includes a large number of settings.

1.2 Xftp (Netsarang)

To work with files, there is an Xftp application, which, when installed, allows you to open a file manager from the console using an xshell session.

2.MobaXterm

Multifunctional SSH client with a large number of useful utilities, session manager, including rdp, etc.

2.1 MobaXterm session manager

There are a large number of protocols for which you can add connection credentials. The free version has some restrictions on the number of sessions.

Remember! By storing passwords in the session manager you add convenience - while reducing security, these two rules are always opposite. For additional protection, use ssh two-factor authentication; there is a guide on how to set it up in our knowledge base, just use the search.
