How is Terminalwire different than SSH?

SSH was created in 1995 to secure, encrypted interactive remote shell sessions. It includes features not needed by modern command-line apps for web applications, such as file transfer, port forwarding, and public-key authentication. Today’s command-line applications for web apps need to do things SSH can’t, like open a web browser on the client to authenticate via the web application.

Terminalwire was built specifically to solve problems that modern command-line web apps demand that SSH can’t. It’s a WebSocket-based protocol that streams standard I/O, and other channels, between a web server and client. This allows you to use your preferred command-line parser within your favorite web server framework to deliver a delightful CLI experience to your users.
