Features

• Auto-suggest hostnames from ~/.ssh/config, ~/.ssh/known_hosts, /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/hosts (sources can be individually disabled).
• Remembers usernames, so you don't have to type them in every time. (You can also remove connections from your history or disable it entirely.)

• Alternate actions:

  • Open connection with mosh instead of SSH.
  • Open SFTP connection instead of SSH.
  • Ping host.

Usage

Keyword is ssh:

• ssh [<query>] — View and filter known SSH connections.

  • ↩ or ⌘+<NUM> — Open the connection.
  • ⇥ — Expand query to selected connection's title. Useful for adding a port number.
  • ⌘+↩ — Open an SFTP connection instead.
  • ⌘+⌥ — Open a mosh connection instead.
  • ⇧+↩ — Ping host.
  • ^+↩ — Forget connection (if it's from history).

Configuration

There are several options available in the workflow's configuration sheet. Notably, you can turn off individual autosuggestion sources.

Variable	Description
DISABLE_CONFIG	Set to 1 to turn off suggestions from ~/.ssh/config.
DISABLE_ETC_CONFIG	Set to 1 to turn off suggestions from /etc/ssh/ssh_config.
DISABLE_ETC_HOSTS	Set to 1 to turn off suggestions from /etc/hosts.
DISABLE_HISTORY	Set to 1 to disable the History (reading and writing).
DISABLE_KNOWN_HOSTS	Set to 1 to turn off suggestions from ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
EXIT_ON_SUCCESS	Set to 1 (default) to close shell if ping or mosh command exits cleanly
EXTERNAL_TRIGGER	Set to 1 to use an External Trigger instead of AppleScript to re-open Alfred. The External Trigger is safer, but leaves Alfred in a weird mode.
MOSH_CMD	Set to the full path to mosh if your shell can't find it. Set to empty to disable mosh connections.

Please note: The workflow generates an ssh:// (or sftp://) URL and asks Alfred to open it. Similarly, the ping and mosh features uses Alfred 3's Terminal Command feature. If it's not opening in the right app, it's not the workflow's fault.

Licencing & thanks

This workflow is released under the MIT Licence.

It uses the following libraries and resources:

• The icon is based on Octicons by Github (SIL Licence).
• ssh_config (MIT Licence) to parse SSH config files.
• awgo (MIT Licence) for the workflowy stuff.

This workflow started as a port of @isometry's Python SSH workflow to Go as a testbed for awgo. It has since gained some additional features.

If you need Alfred 2 support, check out @isometry's workflow.
