Web Client, AI Web Automation & File-Transfer Overhaul

Latest New Features Fixes

New Features

  • Embedded Web Client — A new Web connection type opens fully-rendered web pages in their own tab, right alongside your SSH, Telnet and Serial sessions — ideal for device management UIs and web consoles without leaving the app.
  • Web Python API — The Python scripting panel can now drive web tabs the same way it drives terminals — navigate, read page content, query elements, fill forms, click, and run JavaScript — opening up end-to-end web automation from your scripts.
  • AI Web Page Interaction — The built-in AI Assistant can now read and act on web tabs — inspecting page content, filling fields, clicking, and navigating — so you can ask it to drive a web console for you, just as it already does with terminal sessions.
  • More AI Vendors — Added support for additional AI providers, giving you more choice of models and the option to use free or low-cost keys for the built-in assistant.
  • Bandwidth Throttling — SFTP, TFTP and SCP transfers can now be capped at a per-session speed limit, so large transfers no longer saturate your link or starve other sessions.
  • Resume Interrupted Transfers — Transfers that drop part-way through can now be resumed from where they stopped, instead of restarting from the beginning — a major improvement over the previous pause/retry behaviour.
  • Multi-Select File Operations — Select multiple remote files at once and download, delete or act on them in a single operation across the SFTP, TFTP and SCP clients.
  • Background Transfer Queue — File transfers now run through a background queue, so you can keep working while large or multiple transfers complete on their own.

Fixes & Improvements

  • SFTP Directory Listing Responsiveness — Reworked the SFTP directory-listing process that could occasionally cause the application to become unresponsive. Browsing remote folders is now smoother and no longer freezes the UI on large or slow directories.
  • Folder Drag-and-Drop Crash Fixed — Resolved a crash that occurred when dragging and dropping a folder onto an SSH or SFTP session. Folder transfers now start reliably without bringing down the application.
  • File-Transfer UI Refinements — A range of usability improvements across the SFTP, TFTP and SCP clients for clearer transfer status, easier navigation, and a more consistent file-management experience.
  • Improved SSH Legacy Key Support — Better handling of legacy SSH key types, improving compatibility when connecting to older devices and servers.

A New Look, Now Powered by AI

New Features

New Features

  • Built-in AI Assistant — An AI assistant is now built directly into the app. Diagnose, explain and generate commands and configurations using your choice of Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or local models.
  • Redesigned Material You Interface — A ground-up interface redesign built on Material You, with seven themes, custom accent colors, and restructured log and report views for clearer reading.
  • Quick-Connect Bar — A new command bar (Ctrl+Shift+Q) opens SSH, SFTP, Telnet, FTP or SCP sessions from a single command line — no menu navigation required.
  • Scrollback Bookmarks — Press Ctrl+B to mark any point in the session output and jump between bookmarks across SSH, Telnet and Serial sessions.
  • Screen Capture — Copy a full-tab or selected-region screenshot of any session straight to the clipboard.
  • Per-Connection Startup Commands — Define commands that run automatically the moment a connection opens, configured individually per connection.
  • Terminal Server — A built-in console server that bridges local COM ports to TCP, exposing serial devices over Telnet or SSH.
  • Network Interfaces Tool — A new tool for inspecting local network adapters, their addresses, and routing information at a glance.

Detachable Tabs, Auto-Start & Client Enhancements

New Features Fixes

New Features

  • Client Hover Info — Hovering over a client entry now displays a concise summary panel with key connection details — host, type, port, and status — without having to open the connection properties.
  • Auto-Start Clients & Servers — Connections and servers can now be configured to launch automatically on application startup, so your most critical sessions and services are ready the moment you open the app.
  • Detachable Tabs — Drag any tab out of the main window to promote it into its own top-level window. Ideal for multi-monitor setups where you want a single critical session always visible and uncluttered by the rest of your workspace.
  • SFTP / FTP / SCP — Copy URL & Hash Calculation — The file transfer clients now expose two new context-menu actions: Copy URL copies the full remote path to the clipboard for quick sharing, and Calculate Hash computes a checksum (MD5 / SHA) of the selected remote file for integrity verification.

Bug Fixes

  • Reconnect Preserves Terminal History — Fixed a regression where triggering a reconnect would wipe the existing terminal scrollback buffer. History is now fully retained across reconnection cycles.
  • Menu-Driven Screen Devices — Resolved a compatibility issue affecting devices that use screen-driven menu interfaces, restoring correct rendering and interaction for those session types.

Drag-Drop Favourites, Connection Health & SFTP Sessions

New Features Fixes

New Features

  • Scripting & Console — Clear Console Output — A Clear Console Output button has been added to the script panel header, letting you flush accumulated output instantly without leaving the editor.
  • Favourites Panel — Drag-and-Drop Reorganisation — Connections and entire folders can now be dragged onto another folder to move them, or dropped onto empty space to lift them back to the root level. Multi-select drag is fully supported; cycle attempts and name collisions are rejected with a clear inline message.
  • Favourites Panel — Add Subfolder — A new Add Subfolder entry in the right-click menu of any folder lets you create nested folder hierarchies directly from the context menu.
  • Favourites Panel — Ping Host — Right-clicking any favourite that has a host or IP address now exposes a Ping Host option. It opens a Windows CMD tab that runs the ping and automatically closes itself a few seconds after the ping completes.
  • Favourites Panel — Search Box — A live search field at the top of the panel filters entries by name, host, username, or connection type. Folders that contain matches remain visible as breadcrumbs and auto-expand; expansion state is restored when the search is cleared.
  • Favourites Panel — Serial-Port Presence Indicator — Serial favourites whose COM port is not currently enumerated by the OS are rendered with a greyed-out icon. The indicator refreshes when a folder is collapsed and re-expanded, and carries zero performance cost when no serial favourites exist.
  • Tab Menu — Show Connection Info — A read-only Connection Info dialog accessible from the tab context menu displays all connection fields (passwords masked), live status, and a Copy as Text button for quick sharing or logging.
  • Tab Menu — Ping Host — For any tab with an associated host, the same auto-closing CMD ping flow available in the Favourites panel is now reachable directly from the tab context menu.
  • Tab Menu — Duplicate — A Duplicate option opens a fresh tab pre-loaded with the same connection settings, routing correctly through single-view, multi-view, and RDP flows.
  • Tab Menu — Open SFTP Session — SSH tabs now include an Open SFTP Session entry that spins up a parallel SFTP tab to the same host, reusing the same port, username, password, and key-file credentials.
  • Connection-Health Dot on Tab Headers — A small coloured circle on the left side of each tab title provides an at-a-glance connection state indicator. Hovering reveals a tooltip with status, connection type, endpoint, connected-since timestamp, live uptime, last error, and reconnect count. Supported for SSH, Telnet, Serial, Windows shell/CMD, SFTP, FTP, SCP, and server-type tabs.

Bug Fixes

  • Scripting API Robustness — Hardened the scripting API against misbehaving user scripts, preventing edge-case crashes and improving overall stability when running automation scripts.
  • Multi-View — Focused Tab Header Mismatchupdate_tab_focus_style now restyles the title label and health-dot label backgrounds together with the header strip and container, so the focused tab reads as a single selected unit — consistent with single-view selected-tab behaviour.
