After opening the web page 🌏, you will presented with Apps view.
Other views - Files view 📁 and Monitor view🖥️ can be accessed using the icons on the left.
Action in webterminal, simply speaking, is a pre-configured command and an directory (optional) to run it.
Each action would have Run now button on the webpage, which fires the command in the server.
By default, the application comes bundled with default apps.
The idea of action in apps view is to have a handy bag of utility commands pre-configured, like jps, process kill, even tailing a file...
Anything that can be executed on terminal (cmd or ssh) can be triggered from here, using any app ( the last app in the list ).
Opening Files view icon (📁 -> from left of the page), would allow us to browse across all directories in the host.
You can navigate across directories, choose to download and upload a file. You can favourite 💗 frequently visited directories as bookmarks.
For file downloads, it would be zipped by default. In case of log files, it would be advantageous.
Uploading a file is as easy as navigating to desired directory and choosing upload. This upload is proven to be faster ⚡ than Windows RPD or Linux SFTP transfer, and has no size limit !!
We can share files over the network without our local bandwidth. The transfer is cross platform compatible.
How to: For transferring, just open the webpage in the sender machine, and upload the file to your desired directory. [Web terminal server needs to be running only on receiver's box]
If the sender machine is linux, execute the below command in the directory:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "file=@<FILETOUPLOAD>" http://<RECEIVER_HOST>:<PORT>/uploadfile?directory=
Can be accessed by opening/hovering on Monitor view icon (🖥️ -> from left of the page).
A formuale is a piece of script that webterminal executes for every configurable interval of time and shows it on the webpage.
