Hi Product Hunt! I'm the maker of Easy SSH. I kept switching between two tools. Running `ssh` in the editor's terminal is fine until I need a file, and then it's a separate `scp` with the path typed out again. Remote-SSH is great for real development, but it installs an editor server on the host, which I didn't want for "read a log, grab a dump, fix one config" on small or locked-down servers. So Easy SSH opens a normal terminal tab with your saved hosts. Pick one and you get a real login shell (vim, top and sudo all work). Then: - Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on macOS) a file name the shell printed: Download, Open in an editor tab (Ctrl+S saves it back), Rename, Delete - Ctrl+click a folder: download all of it, or upload into it - Drop files on the terminal to upload them to the current folder - Jump hosts, ~/.ssh/config import, password / key / agent sign-in, and a Test connection button before you save It runs entirely in your editor (Node's ssh2 library plus SFTP), so nothing is installed on the server. It works in VS Code 1.74+, Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf and code-server, and it's MIT licensed. Limitations: Linux/Unix servers only, and folder tracking needs bash, zsh or fish. I built it with AI coding assistance; I reviewed and tested all the code myself. I'd love feedback on the Ctrl+click menu and on any server setups where it gets confused. I'll be here all day to answer questions.
