Before connecting

  • An SSH server you are authorized to access and its connection details are required.
  • Portline connects directly to your server. It does not use an operator relay.
  • Plain SSH connections work without tmux. Preserving a session requires tmux on the server.

Private keys and passwords you choose to save are stored in the iPhone Keychain. See the privacy policy for details.
