Avash brings your SSH terminals, your Windows remote desktops (RDP), your VNC desktops, your serial consoles and your file transfers (SFTP) into a single native application. It reads and writes your ~/.ssh/config as it is, keeps passwords in the system credential store, verifies host keys for SSH and RDP before any credential leaves, shares a local folder as a drive on the remote desktop, and imports PuTTY and MobaXterm sessions. Built with Tauri 2 and Rust; requires the WebView2 runtime, shipped with Windows 10 and 11.
