s1h: ssh + scp in one unified TUI

s1h is a simple TUI inspired by K9s. s1h allows you to quickly ssh/scp into configured hosts, via either passwords stored & encrypted locally, or by private keys.

Installation

From go:

# Install from Go directly:
go install github.com/noboruma/s1h/cmd/s1h@latest

Tools Overview

s1h

The s1h tool reads the SSH config file and allows you to select a host to SSH into using either a password or SSH keys.

Usage:

s1h

This command displays a list of available SSH hosts from your ~/.ssh/config, allowing you to select one and connect. It also allows you to use scp commands.

Example:

Let's image you have the following SSH config file (i.e. ~/.ssh/config):

Host alive-vm
Hostname ***.**.**.***
User root
IdentiftyFile ~/my-priv-key

Host dead-vm
Hostname ****.io
User root
IdentiftyFile ~/my-priv-key

Host alive-vm2
Hostname ***.***.***.***
User root

Simple execute the following:

s1h

Green entries are ssh reachable hosts. Red indicates the host are not reachable with the given hostname & port. You can search hosts or hostname using repectively F1 amd F4 to jump directly to entries:

• If you press enter and it will automatically use the configured authentication method (password or SSH key) to establish the connection. This opens a new shell on the remote host.

• If you press c it will give the option to upload a file to the selected host:

• If you press C it will give the option to download a file from the selected host:

What about password?

The s1h tool provides options to create an encryption key and update username-password pairs securely. This is useful for host that requires password instead of a key. The encrypted file and the key are stored in the $HOME/.config/s1h folder, and can be safely transferred across computer. For maximum security, put your key in a different place.

Usage:

s1hpass upsert <host> <password>

This updates the stored credentials for the specified ssh host.

Example:

s1hpass upsert remote-vm mySecureP@ss
# Output: Credentials updated.

s1hpass remove remote-vm
# Output: Credentials removed.
