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.

No longer works for me. Worked fine for years.

Alan Singleton2023年11月16日

No longer works after update

Jamison Donato2023年11月9日

Pretty sad that after several months its still no better. Time to move on to something better. Serious disappointment.

Jon2023年10月11日

Stopped working with this new wasm thing :(

Leonard Bildwerk2023年10月9日

the last update somehow broke it for me, putty works but this extension drops connections after a short time

Mikhail Samin2023年10月3日

It was great. A migration broken it. Can the developers at least enable the option to keep the old thing while the new one is unstable?

Brian Walker2023年10月1日

Was also my default shell. With the update to version 0.59, it won't stay connected anymore.

Divy Sitlani2023年9月28日

It was my default terminal, but now since 0.58 update, because of wasm migration, it keeps re-connecting. There is no way to switch back to pnacl till wasm is stable. So the extension is useless now.

Martin Skilton2023年9月25日

Have used it for a couple of years, and been great. However since version 0.54 SFTP mount no longer works which reduces the usefulness of this plugin

Brad Holland2023年7月10日

As of version 0.54, SFTP mount no longer works. For me, that was the best thing about this extension.

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.
