Reputable web based ssh client? [closed]

I'm connected to a coffee shop's wireless network right now, and I suspected I'd be able to use my laptop and ssh somewhere. Unlucky me they seem to be blocking everything but web traffic (my testing seems to show everything but port 80 is working, can't ping, ftp, etc).

I googled "web based ssh clients" however I have reservations about entering my login credentials on any Joe Schmoe's web app. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any reputable web based ssh clients? If so could you please point me at one that I could trust?

Assuming you don't need access right this minute, you might try running a copy of SSH on port 80 or port 443 as to avoid that restriction in the future. I used to do that from an old VPS. Though, if you're up against a local caching proxy, that might not help.

Your best option is to run Shell In a Box on your own server. http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/

I've used this and to be honest it's unbelievable good. It's scales to your browser size and running apps like vim and alpine work really well.

You can run it via SSL for extra safety.

I am mostly using http://webssh.uni.me/ when I'm somewhere else (or with https if the firewall allows it). Before 'really' using it i created a test-account that couldn't run anything dangerous on my system and couldn't read write any of my data. I used that user on the site, waited a couple of days, checked my logs and could only see 1 login (mine) so now I'm pretty sure it's safe (Although i still only use web-based ssh clients when there is nothing else available). I would suggest testing the website you want to use like that.

Commando.io is a web based SSH interface. It supports writing commands (called recipes) in shell, bash, perl, python, ruby, go, or node.js. They also just released scheduling, which allows you to automatically run commands on servers periodically in a cron like fashion via a centralized web-interface.
