Open a terminal

Open an ssh session to a host in Terminal or iTerm. It rides on AirSCP’s open connection, so you don’t log in again.

Steps

  • Host ▸ Open Terminal (⌘T), or the Open Terminal button in the toolbar.
  • To start in the folder you are looking at: right-click in the server pane and choose Open Terminal Here (⌥⌘T).
  • To use iTerm instead of Terminal: AirSCP ▸ Settings… ▸ Open terminals in.
The toolbar's Open Terminal button above the Files tab

Tips

  • macOS asks once whether AirSCP may control iTerm. Click Allow.
  • Host ▸ Copy ssh Command (⇧⌘C) copies the ssh command line, to paste into any terminal. It is off for a host behind an HTTP proxy (only AirSCP reaches the proxy): use Host ▸ Open Terminal for it.
