#Os x ssh tunnel manager free#
In any case, I thought it was a worthy mention since it's free and pretty full-featured: I'd like to add another solution I found though it might be a little more bloated than putty and the above solutions.

looks like a bug.Īll in all, that's my assessment for the already posted solutions. A minus for PTM, it gave me a UI programming error when trying to call the taskbar when the settings page was in the background. The nice thing about this is that if you left-click on the icon it shows you your opened sessions. but maybe you want this as a solution for end-users, so with PTM you only create your tunnel (no terminal window opens). I like Putty Tray better because I like having access to a terminal window/session when I load a tunnel (makes me feel more powerful by having access to Putty's configuration as oppose to the limited settings offered in PTM). I've used Tunnelier, but it doesn't seem to be what you're looking for since I couldn't find an easy way of creating taskbar items(sessions). Putty tray will allow you to start it only. Only PTM will allow you to stop and start a tunnel session from the taskbar. The two get their sessions from Putty, though you can move/copy the sessions to PTM as oppose to putty tray which uses putty all the way. For what you're looking for, I believe you'll be happy with either the 'Putty-tunnel-manager' ( 'PTM'?) project or 'Putty Tray' solutions.
