KEY BENEFITS
Clear and secure server management
One workspace for connections, everyday administration and the tools you need when working with remote systems.
All servers in one place
Create and organize server profiles, save the required connection parameters and work with multiple systems from one clear interface.
Windows, macOS and Linux
Server Manager is designed as a cross-platform application, so you can use the same environment across different operating systems.
FEATURES
Tools for everyday server administration
Core features bring connections, terminal sessions, files and secure credential storage into one workflow.
Integrated SSH terminal
Connect to Linux and other SSH servers directly from the application. A unified environment makes working with multiple servers easier without constantly switching between separate tools.
Organized server profiles
Store servers in individual profiles and keep the required connection parameters available in one place.
Terminal and files side by side
Work with remote files over SFTP while using an SSH terminal within the same server profile.
Encrypted local vault
Server profiles, saved SSH passwords and known host keys are protected by scrypt and AES-256-GCM. The master password is not stored on disk.
Installable tools
Extend the compact Core with separate plugins for monitoring, SFTP file management, SSH keys, logs, users or NGINX without modifying the base application.
Hash & Checksum
Calculate local file hashes with 49 algorithms, verify expected digests, compare files, and create checksum manifests. Output supports HEX and Base64; file contents and digests are never uploaded.
All algorithms and capabilities →Server Diagnostics
Probe ICMP, traceroute, DNS, HTTP/1.1/2/3, TLS and TCP without an SSH connection. Live results, local history and JSON/CSV/TXT exports.
Server Diagnostics →Reliable saving and latency
The remote editor detects concurrent changes and retains a recovery copy after failures. The terminal measures SSH RTT and ICMP ping separately.
Biometric unlock and security
Optional Touch ID, Windows Hello including PIN, and fingerprint authentication through fprintd. Master-password fallback, inactivity locking and optional focus locking.

Frequently asked questions
Concise answers about supported systems, connections, data storage and updates.
Is CH-J Server Manager free?
Yes. Commercial and non-commercial use of releases under the CH-J Proprietary Software License 1.14 is permitted without license fees indefinitely under its terms.
Which operating systems does it support?
Current Alpha builds target Windows 11 x64, macOS on Apple Silicon (ARM64), and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x64. Packages currently available are always listed in the Download section.
Does it support SSH?
Yes. The application provides an interactive SSH terminal, connection profiles and authentication with a password or private SSH key.
Does it support SFTP?
Yes. The installable File Manager can browse, upload, download and edit remote files over SFTP in the context of a server profile.
Where are connections and sensitive data stored?
Profiles, saved SSH passwords and known host keys are stored in a local encrypted vault. The master password is not stored on disk; with key authentication, the private key remains in the local file selected by the user.
Does the application require its own cloud account?
No. You do not need a CH-J account to manage server profiles or SSH connections. The distribution server provides the catalog and downloads for the application, updates and plugins.
Can I manage multiple servers?
Yes. You can save each server in its own profile with separate parameters and reconnect to it from a single overview.
How do I update the application?
The application loads an HTTPS catalog of compatible releases for the selected channel. Before using an update package, it verifies the expected size and SHA-512 checksum.
