Re: Update on upcoming versions

Glad to hear of the iPad support! Not sure if I'll ever get one, but I can see how useful iSSH would certainly be on one. More screen real-estate is always nice.

On the UI suggestions, as I recall a revamp of the connection manager was on the list at one time. I'd vote for this above NX (well, and RDP, but that's because I have no windows boxes I manage:-) I realize others certainly DO!).

Right now, I am on different networks depending on where I am. Many of the machines are not visible from the outside, so there really is little point in pinging them. Also, I have accounts on about 2 dozen machines across those networks. Needless to say, having an ssh and vnc entry to each of them in iSSH makes that connection list just a tad long! :-)

Possible interface. I think what might make sense is to set up a hierarchical sort of list, sort of like Unix dirs/Mac Folders that on the top level allowing me to group the machines together for whatever reasons.

For example:

World

Network A

Network B

Now inside them, I would have the machines grouped according to network (one could use other grouping criteria of course, or even none at all).

World
--> machine1.com
--> machine2.com
--> machine3.com

Network A
--> mylocalmachineA1.com
--> mylocalmachineA2.com
--> mylocalmachineA3.com

Network B
--> mylocalmachineB1.com
--> mylocalmachineB2.com
--> mylocalmachineB3.com

Pinging would only take place if I opened the "folder" to which the machines belonged. This avoids having to ping some many at once. Heck my 3G is only 400MHz! :-)

Now for each machine, I'd like to see an SINGLE slot where I can and select Telnet (yes I still use it), SSH, VNC, etc. Also, perhaps on a settings link on that tab, I would be able to set all the options associated with those protocols (ports, passwords, options, etc.)

I think this would be much cleaner than the current long list.
