Question: What is the Georgia SoftWorks ConnectBot?

Georgia SoftWorks:  The GSW ConnectBot is a simple to use but powerful commercial grade SSH Client for Android. It’s the most cryptographically secure, commercially supported Telnet/SSH Client for Android.

Question: What was the idea behind the GSW ConnectBot?ConnectBot_Banner

Georgia SoftWorks: The GSW ConnectBot is based on the original ConnectBot, the most popular and proven (over 1 million downloads) Telnet/SSH Client for Android. We were impressed with the original ConnectBot, yet it was missing features that decades of experience had shown were required in commercial and industrial environments. The original ConnectBot is open source, and we decided to make it commercial grade. We kept the familiar user interface while adding industrial features and robustness.

Question: As you developed the GSW ConnectBot, did you have a specific industry in mind?

Georgia SoftWorks: Production environments need robust features, performance and reliability to support their operations.  The GSW ConnectBot was specifically designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments. Coupled with world class security and supported by a full team of skillful technicians, GSW ConnectBot is a top-notch connectivity tool that you can trust to get the job done within a serious production environment.

Question: If you had to pick one feature that GSW added that stands out the most, what would you pick?

Georgia SoftWorks: One of the most exciting features we added are the current, SAFE SSH algorithms. As such, it is the most cryptographically secure commercially supported SSH client for Android, on par only with the GSW SSH Clients for Windows.
