Tabbed SSH connection manager for GTK+ environments.

  • Gnome Connection Manager is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3
  • It's designed in Glade and written in python, so it just needs PyGTK to run in any linux environment
  • Can store passwords for easy access to hosts
  • Supports multiple ssh tunnels for each host
  • Unlimited vertical/horizontal window splitting. You can have as many visible consoles as you want
  • Drag&Drop tabs between consoles
  • Connect to multiple hosts with just one click
  • Grouping hosts
  • Cluster mode. Work on several hosts at the same time
  • Customizable shortcuts
  • Send custom commands to hosts

Dependencies

Make sure you have installed the following packages (Ubuntu):

  • python-gtk2 (>= 2.22)
  • expect
  • python-vte
  • libglade2-0
  • python-glade2

On Ubuntu you can install them with the following one-liner:

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 expect python-vte libglade2-0 python-glade2

Installing

Once you have dependencies installed, it's as simple as placing gnome-connection-manager directory to a location of your choice and typing in shell:

python gnome_connection_manager.py

The application will read your LANG environment variable and load appropriate translation file (if your language is supported), otherwise it will fallback to english.

If you want to start gnome-connection-manager with specific language start it with LANGUAGE parameter followed by language code, like so:

LANGUAGE=de_DE python gnome_connection_manager.py

If you want to run the application from menu/launcher you can create .desktop file in your /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications directory. Assuming you placed gnome-connection-manager source in directory /home/USERNAME/.gnome-connection-manager/ your .desktop file could look like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Gnome Connection Manager
Comment=A simple ssh connection manager for gnome
GenericName=Connection Manager
Exec=/home/USERNAME/.gnome-connection-manager/gnome_connection_manager.py
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/USERNAME/.gnome-connection-manager/icon.png
Categories=GTK;GNOME;Network;

Replace USERNAME in examples above with your username.
