Mac Users - Any free SSH client for OS-X

[Murpheeee]

Setting up some Macs at work....

Need to find a free SSH client
Had been using Nifty Telnet, but want to use something in OS-X rather than classic.

I know that in OS-X you can use SSH from terminal, but I'd rather use a client if one were available.

Anything out there?

What are you looking for that the command line client wont do? It's not like you are gonna find a graphical SSH client.

Most of the users are not capable of using the command line client....

Most of the time they are accessing only 2 main sites (mail servers) so I would like to be able to bookmark those in some kinda GUI client so they only have to click on some stuff, rather than type....thats the way it was set up in Nifty Telnet.....

try Transmit, i use that as a graphical sftp program. hit the find free 0sX software in the
finder and look for ssh.

Ok, I'm a huge nerd, so I wrote a Cocoa Application that is a nifty graphical launcher for the Terminal SSH client.

Heh, maybe it's not exactly what you wanted, but it's pretty simple to use. 72Kb, untar and run the .app

What I would do is just make a simple little Applescript program that launches them into the command line and starts the SSH connection so that it just asks for their password in order to log in.

It's pretty easy to call a shell script from a Apple script.

Then stick that applescript in the Dock.

Unless you want to use sftp or scp...
