I’ve been working on a project that I need constant access (and executing commands) among at least 3 hosts in work. I’ve been using SSH’s Host function to manage which host I’m connecting to. However, I find it increasingly annoying that I can’t see which host I’m connected to via the tab on my terminal emulator (I’m using Windows Terminal on Windows and Konsole on Linux).
Is there a good SSH GUI client that can show which host a session is connected to? I’ve tried Termius. But $10 per month is too expensive to me for what I’m doing (and I don’t need most of the paid feature).
Mobaxterm has many more features than what you’re asking for. You might not use anything else after using it.
We make the prompt be user@hostname so no matter what you use it shows what host you’re on. This is configurable in .bashrc iirc.
I might also recommend tmux, there’s a script you can use to also set prompt in the window view. Though this is best used as a jumpserver setup.
