WebTerm

WebTerm is a shell on one of your Flash VMs, in your browser. You do not need an SSH client or a key.

Opening WebTerm

In the Flash VMs list, open a VM's menu and choose Open WebTerm. The shell opens in its own window, logged in to that VM.

You need a role that can change Flash VMs. Read-only users cannot open WebTerm.

Restarts and reconnecting

WebTerm stays connected while the VM restarts. When the VM is back, a fresh shell opens in the same window.

If you end the shell yourself (for example with exit), the session stays ended. Choose Reconnect to open a new shell.

Files

Use the paperclip to upload files to the VM, and the folder button to choose where they go. Uploads start in your workspace folder. When you change folder in the shell with cd, the upload folder follows, as long as it stays inside your workspace.

Theme and power

The bar at the top of the window has:

  • Theme: Dark or Light. This applies only to WebTerm and is kept for your account.
  • Power: Restart and Power off, or Power on when the VM is stopped. You are asked to confirm unless you have turned the confirmation off.

Other ways in

You can also reach a VM over SSH from your own computer. See SSH keys.
