Quick Start

Purpose

MyShell Terminal connects to remote servers, opens SSH terminals, manages files, and supports server-to-server transfer when the required conditions are met.

Entry

Download the Windows installer from the release page. After installation, launch the app from the Start menu.

Steps

1. Click + in the sidebar and enter the host, SSH port, username, and authentication method (password or private key).
2. Save the server and double-click it to connect. On first connection, the host key is automatically trusted and recorded without an acceptance prompt. In Settings → Trusted Hosts, check the recorded fingerprint through a trusted channel; stop using the connection if it cannot be verified.
3. SFTP is displayed by default after connecting; the toolbar folder button shows or hides the file manager. File operations remain subject to remote account permissions.
4. Open the SFXP workspace tab from the bottom status bar or command palette. Select and connect a server on each side, choose the source and target paths, and start the transfer.

Know Before You Start

• Refer to the delivery notes for Windows version compatibility. SSH, SFTP, and the required server network paths must be reachable.
• SFXP requires a PRO license. Direct server-to-server transfer is preferred; if direct connectivity is unavailable, a relay may be used. The transfer is not guaranteed to avoid the local machine.
• The remote account, server configuration, and network policy determine what credentials and files can be accessed.

If It Fails

Check the host, port, firewall, credentials, and account permissions. If needed, adjust the timeout in Settings → Connection and retry. If an SFXP status is unknown, verify the remote state before starting the same transfer again.

Safety

Connect only to servers whose identity you can verify. Store private keys and backup passwords separately, and do not paste credentials into untrusted terminals or chats.
