Manage sessions

With the newly added features of drag and drop and move to, session management has become more convenient and easy.

Highlight Text

Highlight Text supports marking text with specified font color, background color, line type, and line color, which makes it very convenient to highlight the output text that needs attention.

OneKey

OneKey enables automatic login by using the preset login settings. When a large number of servers share the same login settings, this feature can greatly facilitate their management. Especially when login settings change, it is easy to make all servers switch to the new login settings by simply modifying the corresponding OneKey.

OneKey supports:

Trigger

A trigger is an action that is automatically executed when the output received from a server matches specified text or regular expressions. Triggers help automate and streamline workflows in the terminal, increasing efficiency and reducing the need for manual intervention.

Trigger types:

Build-in Triggers:

Sync Terminal Folder

Sync Terminal Folder supports syncing the current working directory between filer and terminal. When you change directories in the terminal, filer should follow automatically and optionally, vice versa, the working directory of the filer can be quickly copied to the terminal.

Sync Terminal Folder supports:

  • Copy directory path from filer to terminal.
  • Manually sync terminal folder.
  • Automatically sync terminal folder.

Note that not all local or remote systems support Sync Terminal Folder.

Sysmon

Sysmon allows you to monitor the usage of system resources such as the time, uptime, CPU, memory, network, etc. of the local machine or remote server.

Sysmon supports:

  • Linux (SSH, Shell)
  • macOS (SSH, Shell)
  • Cmd
  • PowerShell
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux

Performance

Terminal

The redesigned Log module, combined with further code optimization, allows WindTerm to run several times faster than other terminals, regardless of whether logging is enabled or not.

Sftp Transfer

The redesigned Sftp Transfer module enables the fastest possible transfer speeds for both large files and a large number of small files. In some cases, the speed can even be up to ten times faster than professional tools.

Local Transfer

The redesigned Local Transfer module allows for file copying and deletion at speeds that can rival or even surpass those of the system itself.

Versions after Version 2.4.0

  1. Start WindTerm and select the profiles directory containing the old .wind folder.
  2. It is recommended to choose the Home Directory to facilitate subsequent upgrades.

If the .wind folder needs to be moved to another system:

  1. Quit WindTerm.
  2. Replace the new .wind folder with the old .wind folder.
  3. Restart WindTerm and all the sessions and configuration will be restored.

The .wind folder is cross-platform.

Known Issues:

  • [ZMODEM] Only support file names contains ASCII characters in Windows, otherwise the file name of the transfered file will be garbled after transmission, but it does not affect the correctness of the file content. Linux and MacOS version does not have this problem.
