WebSSH
WebSSH is a macOS remote access app for SSH, SFTP, port forwarding, and related admin tasks from one toolbox.
What is WebSSH?
WebSSH is a native remote administration app for macOS, iPhone, and iPad that helps users connect to servers and network devices from one workspace. It is designed for developers, system administrators, and IT professionals who need SSH access, file transfer, and tunnel management while working from a Mac. The app combines terminal sessions with SFTP file browsing and editing, so you can manage remote systems and move files without switching tools. WebSSH also supports port forwarding and additional connection types such as Telnet and serial sessions for broader infrastructure work. Built-in network tools such as ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, and whois make it useful for quick diagnostics during troubleshooting. WebSSH is published by Itimeteo and fits best as a developer-focused utility for remote server workflows.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
WebSSH is legitimate remote access software, but it can handle sensitive server credentials, private keys, connection histories, and remote file access. Those permissions and data flows are normal for an SSH and SFTP client. Use strong authentication, protect any saved keys or passwords, and review iCloud syncing settings if you prefer to keep connection data only on your Mac.
Recommendation: Keep WebSSH if you use it for server access, file transfers, or SSH tunnels on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer manage remote systems and do not need its saved connections or admin tools.
