Allow SSH connections to be routed through SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT proxies.
Backend:
- Add ProxyType, ProxyHost, ProxyPort, ProxyUsername, ProxyPassword to SSHConfig
- dialTarget() dispatches to direct TCP, SOCKS5, or HTTP CONNECT based on config
- SOCKS5: uses golang.org/x/net/proxy with optional username/password auth
- HTTP CONNECT: sends CONNECT request with optional Basic auth, validates 200 OK
- Proxy dialling replaces ssh.Dial for non-jump-host connections; the resulting
net.Conn is passed to ssh.NewClientConn for the SSH handshake
Frontend:
- Add Proxy section to SSH profile editor (collapsed by default)
- Proxy type selector: None / SOCKS5 / HTTP CONNECT
- Host, port, username, password fields
- Collect proxy values on save
Automatically generate and submit TOTP codes during SSH keyboard-interactive
authentication when a secret is configured for the profile.
Backend:
- Add TOTPSecret field to SSHConfig model
- Detect TOTP/2FA prompts in keyboard-interactive handler using keyword
matching (verification code, otp, authenticator, 2fa, etc.)
- Generate 6-digit TOTP codes using pquerna/otp library
- Retrieve TOTP secret from vault during connection (keychain or file vault)
- API: SetTOTPSecret, GetTOTPCode, HasTOTPSecret, DeleteTOTPSecret
Frontend:
- Add TOTP/2FA section to SSH profile editor (collapsed by default)
- Password-masked secret input with show/hide toggle
- Save button: encrypts and stores in vault
- Test button: generates a live 6-digit code (shown for 5 seconds)
- Delete button: removes stored secret
- Auto-detect whether secret is already saved (placeholder indicator)
- CSS for TOTP input row, danger button style
SFTP file browser:
- Created internal/sftpclient wrapping github.com/pkg/sftp for remote file
operations (list, stat, mkdir, remove, rename, download, upload, pwd)
- Integrated SFTP into session manager with lazy client creation per session
- Added API methods for all SFTP operations with native file dialogs
- Built SFTPBrowser frontend component — right-side resizable panel with
breadcrumb navigation, sorted file listing, context actions (download,
rename, delete), upload, new folder, and custom modal dialogs
- Toggle via Cmd+Shift+F on active SSH sessions
- Auto-refits terminal when panel opens/closes/resizes
- Panel cleaned up automatically when session closes
OpenSSH config import:
- Created internal/sshconfig parser for ~/.ssh/config Host blocks
- Converts to profiles with hostname, port, user, identity file,
ProxyJump (first hop), ForwardAgent, and Compression support
- Skips wildcard-only hosts and Match blocks
- Import button added to Settings > About tab
Automatic update checking:
- Created internal/updater querying GitHub Releases API
- Simple semver comparison, 10-second timeout
- Dev builds never trigger update prompts
- Check button added to Settings > About tab
Argon2id:
- Increase memory parameter from 64 MiB to 128 MiB for stronger KDF
SSH Agent:
- Add agent.go with connectAgent(), agentAuthMethod(), requestAgentForwarding()
- Integrate agent auth into buildAuthMethods() (tried first when enabled)
- Set up agent forwarding after PTY allocation when agentForwarding is true
- Track and clean up agent socket connection on session close
- Add AgentAuth and AgentForwarding fields to SSHConfig model
- Add SSH Agent section to profile editor with toggle controls
Port Forwarding (new):
- Add PortForward model with local/remote direction, bind/dest addresses
- Implement ForwardManager in sshclient/portforward.go with full
bidirectional tunnel support for both local and remote forwarding
- Integrate ForwardManager into SSH client lifecycle (auto-start on
connect, clean shutdown on close)
- Add session manager methods: ListPortForwards, StartPortForward,
StopPortForward with event emission
- Add API surface: ListPortForwards, StartPortForward, StopPortForward
- Add validation for port-forward rules in ValidateSSHConfig
- Add port forwarding section to profile editor with direction, bind/dest
host/port, label, and enable toggle
- Add frontend event handling for forward:started/stopped/error
- Style port-forward rows with charcoal card design matching jump hosts
Jump Host UI improvements:
- Add private key path field to jump host editor rows
- Collect privateKeyPath in form value collection
- Restyle jump host rows as two-line cards with clear field grouping
Add the session manager (internal/sessions/manager.go) that orchestrates
multiple simultaneous SSH, Telnet, and RAW TCP sessions with:
- Protocol-specific connection logic using existing client implementations
- Credential resolution via OS keychain → encrypted vault → user prompt
- Wails runtime event emission for frontend state synchronisation
- Full session lifecycle management (connect, disconnect, reconnect)
- RAW session history and capture support
- Telnet break signal forwarding
Add the Wails-bound API service (internal/api/api.go) exposing:
- Profile CRUD with search, filtering, favourites, and duplication
- Session management (connect, disconnect, resize, write)
- RAW-specific text/hex/escaped write methods
- Secret store initialisation, unlock/lock, and per-profile secrets
- Known host listing and deletion
- Preferences get/save
- Profile import/export with skip/overwrite/duplicate strategies
- Audit log retrieval
- Native file dialog wrappers and app info
Remove conflicting protocol client stubs (client.go) that duplicated
the comprehensive implementations in sshclient.go, telnetclient.go,
and rawclient.go.
