Best SSH client?

[mugs]

I use PuTTY in Windows. What's the best SSH client for OS X?

 

[Kadarin]

I'm not sure about the best, but I've always just used the Terminal client that comes with the OS.

I've always used ssh in Terminal. I used to use an app back in the day to display ANSI/etc correctly (rendered on OpenGL, I forget the name), but I don't think that is necessary with the newer versions of Terminal.

the built in terminal is all i want. Some people like iTerm.

Thanks for the iTerm tip. I don't understand why, like, wanting bookmarks are so hard to understand. I have three or four different systems I'm constantly SSHing into, and it's nice to be able to just click and open another session. Great program!

I guess I never understood the bookmark thing for ssh. For the hosts that I'm constantly getting into I know the name/IP and with the bash_completion scripts in Debian it tabcompletes hostnames stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts anyway.

I just right click on terminal.app and click new remote connection, then itside there it has all my favorites for ssh, sftp, ftp, or god forbid, telnet.

Terminal has a great command memory anyway. It's just a couple arrow clicks to get the last server you logged into.

This.

And, configuring terminal with this give you a "proper" black theme with unix-esque bash colors. <3

That's just good old bash history.

You can also search your bash history (I belive it is ctrl-r)

Google searching bash history for more information.

iTerm. It has bookmarks. Wish it saved passwords.

I wish nothing would save passwords, but that's just me. But for something similar but not as insecure, look at public key authentication for ssh. That way you can have 1 key that you use everywhere.
