LightRemote

LightRemote brings SSH and Telnet terminals, VNC desktops, and SFTP, FTP, and explicit FTPS file management into one browser and desktop workspace, with TightVNC and UltraVNC file transfer support. Work across tabbed sessions and detachable windows, organize saved connections, manage reusable SSH keys, and connect through HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 proxies. Saved credentials are encrypted at rest. Built with Go and React. See the documentation.
