How to Use Web-Shell on iPhone
by Chad Anderson, Demand MediaWebShell is a python application that creates a Web-based portal for a Secure Shell connection to a server. Since WebShell is AJAX based, the application will work perfectly under the Safari browser in iOS. As a tool, SSH is the standard for text-based remote access around the Web. SSH can be used to transfer files, fully interact and manage a remote system, or to simply play a text-based game on a remote system. Accessing a WebShell instance is a quick and easy process using the built-in Web browser on an Apple iPad or iPhone.
Step 1
Press the hard button to return to your home screen.
Step 2
Touch the "Safari" icon to launch the Web browser.
Step 3
Touch the address bar, then enter the address "https://domain:8022" where "domain" is the domain name or IP address of the remote server running WebShell.
Step 4
Enter your username and password to log in to the SSH server. Once logged in, you can interact with SSH and the operating system as if you were running a normal terminal window.
Tips
- Using SSL to secure your remote WebShell connection is highly recommended, otherwise anyone can capture your data. Confirm that the address bar reads "https" instead of "http" before typing in your username and password on an untrusted network.
