CLUSTER DESKTOP-SSH-SFTP · 30 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-02-14

SSH and file transfer clients

This cluster comprises desktop and mobile clients for remote connectivity—SSH, SFTP, FTP, telnet, serial, and more—often combining terminal sessions, file transfer, and connection management. The dated history before the index shows a slow, irregular trickle of new entries across more than a decade, with no sustained pattern and a single month reaching two entries. Custom-SSH leads on traction with 8 stars, followed by Integrate-Terminal (5) and ZYXterm (4).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
