# Nexus Terminal Quick Start
|
|
|
|
Nexus Terminal is a desktop client for SSH, Telnet, RAW TCP, and GitHub sessions. This page is a shareable quick start for everyday use.
|
|
|
|
## Get connected in minutes
|
|
|
|
1. Open Nexus Terminal.
|
|
2. Click **New** in the sidebar.
|
|
3. Choose a protocol and enter the connection details.
|
|
4. Click **Connect** to open the session in a new tab.
|
|
|
|
One-off session? Use **Cmd+Shift+Q** / **Ctrl+Shift+Q** for quick connect.
|
|
|
|
## Daily workflow
|
|
|
|
- **Tabs and splits**: Drag tabs to reorder, and split the workspace to view multiple sessions at once.
|
|
- **Broadcast input**: Toggle with **Cmd+Shift+B** (macOS) or **Ctrl+Shift+B** (Windows/Linux) to send the same command to all connected sessions.
|
|
- **Snippets**: Save common commands and run them with one click.
|
|
- **Search**: Press **Cmd+F** (macOS) or **Ctrl+F** (Windows/Linux) to search within the active terminal.
|
|
- **Reconnect quickly**: If a session drops, click **Reconnect** on the disconnected overlay.
|
|
|
|
## File transfers on SSH
|
|
|
|
Click the **folder** icon on an SSH tab to open the SFTP browser. You can browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files.
|
|
|
|
### Drag and drop files
|
|
|
|
Drop file(s) into the terminal and choose to:
|
|
|
|
- **Upload** to a selected remote folder, or
|
|
- **Paste contents** into the terminal as if typed.
|
|
|
|
The upload picker lists folders only and marks permissions:
|
|
|
|
- **READ ONLY**: you can read but cannot write
|
|
- **NO READ**: you cannot access the folder
|
|
|
|
## Security basics
|
|
|
|
- Credentials are stored in the OS keychain where available.
|
|
- An encrypted vault is used as a fallback.
|
|
- SSH host key checks can be set per profile (Strict, Ask, Accept new, Insecure).
