You cannot be at your desk 24/7 even if you are the best system administrator the world has ever known. You also cannot predict when your server will need attention or where you will be when it does. We live in an age where mobile devices are as common as clothing, so it is only natural that web servers should be accessible from mobile devices as well.

Enter: Webshell, a cross-platform mobile SSH tool that allows the user to access a remote server on a computer, iPhone, or any other mobile device that has a web browser. Webshell is written in Python and therefore runs on any Unix-like system, including Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X.

Webshell supports multiple terminal emulations, UTF-8 enconding, including chinese/japanese glyph support, a virtual keyboard for iPhone users, customizable appearance, and maintains all of the security of SSH since it still operates over SSL/TLS. Webshell is free and open source software (GPL) and available for download from the project’s website.
