Minimalist terminal emulator, designed by network engineer for network engineers, with unique features for effeciency and effectiveness when managing network devices like routers, switches, transponders and ROADMs through command line interface.
tinyTerm2 is a rewrite of tinyTerm in C++ with FLTK and libssh2+mbedtls, resulting a cross platform terminal emulator, with multi-tab support, and continues to be small, simple and scriptable. Win32 executable is only 654KB, win64 executable is 831KB, macOS and linux executables are just above 1MB.
User interface design is minimal, program starts with no tabs, tabs are enabled automatically when second connection is made; scrollbar hidden until user trys to scroll back, only one dialog for makeing connections,
libssh2 1.9.0 for full support of WinCNG crypto functions
./configure --with-crypto=wincng --without-libz
make install
mbedTLS crypto library is used on macOS/Linux/WindowsXP, download mbedtls-2.16.1,
"make no_test install" //add WINDOWS_BUILD=1 on windows
then build libssh2
./configure --with-crypto=mbedtls --without-libz
make install
Fl_Browser_Input.h and Fl_Browser_Input.cxx extends Fl_Input with autocompletion
Fl_Term.h and Fl_Term.cxx implements a vt100 terminal widget using FLTK
ssh2.h and ssh2.cxx implements ssh, sftp and netconf hosts
host.h and host.cxx implements telnet and serial hosts, plus ftp and tftp daemon for win32
tiny2.cxx combines Fl_Term, host and ssh2 to create the simple terminal application
tinyTerm2 can be compiled on Windows using mingW or Visual Studio command line tools, on MacOS using command line development tool or on UNIX/Linux using gnu tools. Makefiles are provided for building with MSYS2+MingW64/32, also a cmd file for building with Visual Studio building tools.
Makefile building tinyTerm on macOS/Linux or on windows using mingw64
make.cmd command for Visual Studio 2019 build tool on windows using wincng crypto
The Makefiles provided assumes that FLTK and libssh2 are installed in /usr/local. MacOS and Linux Makefile are the same, mingw64 Makefile would be similar, make.cmd is a little different in that it uses Windows native crypto library(WinCNG) and includes a resource file to provide file version information and application icon.
