Aaah, you’ve got to love hackers. Yup, hard at work to make sure that their activities can be done undercover. Now we aren’t saying the hackers that hacked the iPhone to run SSH do bad stuff undercover, but just like us here at SvenOnTech, we don’t want our network traffic to be wide open on the Internet. No sir, we want high encryption and we want via SSH! Well now we have it and it ain’t half bad for a web-based application.
WebShell is a web-based SSH client that you point your iPhone Safari to an installed SSH “server” on your system (WebShell supplies the install package.) You then use this “proxy” to execute SSH to another host. Now the key here to make this work is to use SSL via https in Safari. Note the s on the end there, folks. If you don’t well then you’re kinda defeating the purpose of SSH. 
While not a true SSH client on the iPhone, this a great work around until an API is released for the iPhone. Give it a try. It’s free.
