SSH bookmark manager for Linux

Question

I have used JellyfiSSH on Mac OSX which basically stores your ssh connection details so you can quickly open connections using the built in SSH client to various servers without having to type in all the details, is there are similar thing available for linux? I am using Ubuntu.

Answer 1

When running ssh myalias from the command line, you can use a file named config in your ~/.ssh folder, or a file /etc/ssh/ssh_config. Here, you can configure things such as which real host name, user name and keys to use. Like:

# Use the private key "my-private-key" when logging in to myhost.com
# On the command line, just type: ssh myalias
Host myalias
HostName myhost.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my-private-key
User myname

If you're not using keys: I can see there's a PasswordAuthentication option too, but I doubt you can also set the password itself in that file.

Answer 2

Try PAC Manager http://sourceforge.net/projects/pacmanager/

Perfect for Ubuntu!! ;)
