SolarOS 4.13.4 manual · app

ssh

Interactive SSH client. It supports password and key authentication, known hosts, hostname lookup through /.ssh/hosts, UTF-8 text, VT-style controls, and remote full-screen terminal applications. When user@ is omitted, SSH uses the NVS-backed SolarOS identity user. Tab completion reads aliases from /.ssh/hosts and preserves an explicit user@ prefix.

Usage:

ssh [user@]host [port]

On display shells, SSH owns a resumable terminal buffer. Switching to the SolarOS shell does not mix the local and remote scrollback, and switching back restores the SSH buffer. On UART and USB CDC port shells, SSH uses the shared port scrollback. Disconnecting returns directly to the local prompt. Remote terminal control sequences still work, including full-screen applications.

Controls:

• Most keys are sent to the remote host, including Esc, Alt+key, cursor keys,

Ctrl combinations, and function keys.

• App-exit key closes the SSH app.
• Alt+Tab leaves the session running in the background on display builds.
