SSH GUIs
OpenSSH is
a free version of the SSH suite of network connectivity tools that
provides encrypted replacements for telnet,
ftp, rlogin,
rcp, and more. As noted earlier in the book,

One such frontend, familiar to Unix/Linux users, is Brian
Masney’s
GTK+/glib-based
gftp (http://www.gftp.org/). gftp
can be installed on Mac OS X using Fink.
Another option is Fugu (http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/), which is a graphical interface to the OpenSSH program bundled with Mac OS X. Fugu is developed and provided as freeware by the University of Michigan’s Research Systems Unix Group. As noted on its web site (which should always be consulted for the most up-to-date version and information), Fugu has many useful features including, but not limited to, the following:

Unicode character support
Support for connections to alternate ports
Compression support
Support for SSH command-line options
SCP support
Ability to create SSH Tunnels
Keychain support
Favorites list for frequently visited hosts
