SSH and Terminal Client

Closed this issue · 7 comments

It would be super nice to have a SSH Client on Firefox OS using TCPSocket.

See Bug 878972 and this etherpad.

hi @AntoineTurmel @Yoric ,
I would love to start working on this. The anyterm solution proposed here[0] and the webshell solution [1] are not the proper fixes, am i right??
I will start digging more into this. Can someone suggest the next steps?

Anyterm and webshell are just workaround and are not really that reliable.
I think you should look on how FireSSH works and how you could port it with JavaScript and TCPSocket.
You can grab Firefox Nightly and try WebIDE to make a sample WebApp.

So the project is under work:
https://github.com/chuckwagoncomputing/fxos-firemote (Firefox OS client)
https://github.com/chuckwagoncomputing/paramikojs (JS Library ported for Gaia)

If you want to help @Chinmay26 ;)

Thanks for the ping @AntoineTurmel . I will have a look around .

@AntoineTurmel I think I wrote a Telnet client long ago which is available in FxOS https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/fire-telnet?src=search

It won't be hard to implement SSH over it.

PS: Oh and I remember author of firemote getting in touch with me early January when I was travelling...

@rabimba good :) Feel free to contribute with @chuckwagoncomputing on it !
