Electerm

Typically, a terminal emulator is used to give a certain computer user the ability to log on or/and get direct access to legacy programs in a mainframe operating system. There are currently a large number of such apps out there, but there’s one that aims to shake up the norm.

It goes by the name of Electerm, and even though at heart it’s a terminal emulator, it can also act as a comprehensive SSH/SFTP client, as well as a simplistic file manager. In short, it’s very similar to the more popular and much older Xshell app. It employs libraries such as Electron, SSH2, Node-pty, xterm, and antd.

The app requires no installation and can be run on basically any computer with the latest versions of Windows. Before we go even further, it’s worth noting that Electerm is cross-platform, meaning it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

It has support for multiple languages (United States English, Russian, Spanish, French, and so forth), serial ports, and quick commands (keyboard-operated). The interface is nicely designed making it look and feel like a modern app should.

Speaking of interface, almost every aspect of the GUI (in terms of fonts, background images, and colors) can be easily customized. It can also help users synchronize all their bookmarks, themes, and quick commands to GitHub secret gist.

To conclude, Electerm is a terminal emulator aimed at users who require something a bit more versatile than what the standard app of this sort can offer. It allows users to edit remote files using its file manager, perform a broad range of terminal-related files, all while supporting SSH and SFTP network protocols.
