SSH tool

This is going to be a small tool to manage your SSH settings.

I'm using Dart because I want this to be a CLI with a GUI on top later on. And I'm looking forward to Flutter supporting desktop environments. Let's see how that works out.

sshtool is only the project name. I haven't decided on a real name, yet.

Some name ideas are:

• clam (coming from "giant clam")
• sesh (alternative abbreviation for "secure shell")
• kee (alternative spelling for "key")

Progress

• Hosts
  • List
  • Add
  • Edit
  • Remove
  • Use global config file
• Keys
  • Generate
  • Copy
  • Change Passphrase
  • Upload

CLI Usage (draft)

Basic commands

# run the GUI version (if available)
sshtool

# display help
sshtool --help

Manage hosts

# list all hosts
sshtool [--global|-g] hosts ls
sshtool [--global|-g] hosts list

# add host interactively
sshtool [--global|-g] hosts add

# add host directly
sshtool [--global|-g] hosts add <host-name> --host <host-addr>

# remove host
sshtool [--global|-g] host remove <host-name>

By default, the config file in your user directory is being used.

Use the --global flag to use the global config file.

Manage SSH key pairs

# generate key pair
sshtool key generate

# copy public key to clipboard
sshtool key copy

# change key passphrase
sshtool key change-passphrase

# upload public key to a remote
#
# --key            Optionally specify which key to upload
#
# --target-file    Optionally specify where the
#                  "authorized_keys" file is located.
sshtool key upload <remote-name> [--key|-k <key-file>] [--target-file|-t <file>]
