SSHDESK — interactive remote desktop over SSH in the terminal
Tools2026-08-31, 09:15
An interactive remote graphical session rendered directly in the terminal over an SSH connection. OpenSSH authenticates the user and launches SSHDESK as a forced command. The graphical session is then transmitted over the same SSH connection using a dedicated PTY.
Features:
• Transmission of keyboard and mouse input, as well as terminal resize events.
• Transmission of only changed pixels over a single SSH connection.
• Automatic cleanup of session resources when the session ends.
• No browser, separate SSH client, VNC/RDP listener, or web server required.
• No additional network ports or separate credential database required.
