Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Secure Shell is an xterm-compatible terminal emulator and stand-alone SSH client for Chrome. It uses Native Client to connect directly to SSH servers without the need for external proxies.

A SFTP command line client is included. On ChromeOS, you can create SFTP mounts and access them from the Files app!

An alpha build of Mosh is included now too.

It has been well tested for a couple of years.

Backup restore config not work

If you have come here because the add-on has stopped working, you need to follow these steps. 1) Remove this Extention. 2) Search for "Secure shell" in the Chrome Extension shop. 3) Install the package with the same name as this one but the icon looks like this >_<

Frederic Rochat2023年11月19日

This was my preferred SSH client, but it stopped working. :-(

Yet another great Google product that has stopped working.

Paul Miller2023年11月18日

Version 0.60 stopped working for me. Installed the development version of Secure Shell from chrome web store (same name different icon) and version 0.60.8738.27253 of that is working.

Henry Karjalainen2023年11月18日

Has stopped working. The OTHER Secure Shell from Google works - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/secure-shell/algkcnfjnajfhgimadimbjhmpaeohhln

Ewan Watson2023年11月18日

Same as everyone. Stopped working after update. Hopefully it gets fixed soon... maybe relying on Alpha wasn't the right move...

Monetization

No paid features detected

No evidence of any payment system, subscription model, or feature gating. The extension is open source (BSD licensed, ChromiumOS Authors). No Stripe, payment APIs, subscription code, premium tiers, or upgrade prompts found. All 'pro' keyword matches are false positives from words like 'protocol', 'process', 'profile' in locale files. The 'upgrade' matches refer to SFTP protocol version upgrades and library updates, not paid upgrades. The extension provides all functionality (SSH, SFTP, Mosh) for free.

Confidence: 98
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: Secure Shell is a standalone SSH terminal client that does not require any account login to use. All 'auth' keyword matches in the codebase refer to SSH protocol authentication (password/key/PIN caching for remote server connections), not extension or service account login. The connection dialog accepts SSH server parameters (hostname, username, port) — these are for connecting to user's own SSH servers. The credential cache (lib_credential_cache.js) stores SSH session credentials locally, not account credentials. The nassh_google.js file handles Google SSH certificate management (SKE) for enterprise environments, which is optional SSH key infrastructure, not extension login.
