About:
Sshx provides a secure, low-latency terminal sharing service that allows users to invite others to view or collaborate in their command-line session via a web browser. It establishes a direct, encrypted connection from your local machine to the sshx server, generating a unique shareable link for collaborators. This eliminates the need for complex VPN setups or SSH tunneling, making it ideal for quick debugging sessions, pair programming, or live demos.
Key Features:
  • Instant web-based access without installing client software for viewers
  • End-to-end encryption for secure session data transmission
  • Low latency performance optimized for real-time collaboration
  • Simple one-command setup for sharing terminal access
Use Cases:
  • Live debugging sessions where you need to show a colleague real-time terminal output
  • Pair programming sessions for remote teams
  • Giving temporary access to a server for technical support
  • Conducting live demos or tutorials from a command-line environment
Alternatives:
  • tmate – tmate creates terminal multiplexer sessions but requires SSH client setup for viewers; sshx provides instant browser access
  • Teleport – Teleport is a full-featured infrastructure access platform; sshx is simpler and focused on quick session sharing
  • Screen – Screen is a local terminal multiplexer; sshx enables remote web-based collaboration
