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

Or from the repository:

# Or build from the repository source
git clone https://github.com/noboruma/s1h
cd s1h
make build

# You can also install directly using Go
go install ./...

Or download the binaries directly (choose your os/arch):

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:

CLI mode

It is also possible to use s1h as a CLI to shell and copy files. This approach might be more convenient if you rely on shell history to pass things around. Mostly this approach helps with password managements.

s1h cp [hos1:]/path1 [hos2:]/path2
s1h shell hos1

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.
