MurmurSSH

MurmurSSH is an open-source SSH and SFTP client for Linux, designed as a simple, reliable, and fully local alternative to cloud-based or complex tools. It focuses on clarity and usability, offering a minimal interface, fast connection handling, and straightforward file operations. All profiles and configurations are stored locally — no accounts, syncing, or background services.

MurmurSSH supports password and SSH key authentication, including passphrase-protected keys. Host key verification is handled transparently, allowing users to manage trust decisions per session or permanently.

The integrated SFTP browser enables efficient file management, including upload, download, move, and recursive transfers with multi-file support. A terminal can be launched externally when needed, keeping workflows flexible without forcing an embedded terminal.
