ImageAbout iSSH
A front-end application to the command line application “ssh”. It provides a quick and easy way to start an SSH connection to a remote computer. You may be asking, “What's the point of running SSH without an interactive command prompt (Terminal)?” Well, running SSH in the background will not supply a prompt, but, it will forward ports. This is the main purpose of iSSH.

You can set two options with iSSH; which ports to forward to the remote computer, or, to start an SSH SOCKS proxy. The first could be used to forward a VNC connection over SSH and the latter could be used to bypass your work's website filters!

Either way, iSSH offers a simple way to start a SSH connection for those who don’t know how to use the Terminal or just don't need it.

ssh-argv0

SSH-ARGV0(1)                                                BSD General Commands Manual                                               SSH-ARGV0(1)

NAME

     ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling

SYNOPSIS

     hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]

     hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
     [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling.  If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
     equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument.  All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

OPTIONS

     See ssh(1).

FILES

     See ssh(1).
