Microsoft has released the Remote Desktop Connection software for MAC OS,īut I am not sure if the iPhone OS can support this software: I’m really looking forward to the upcoming iPadOS to see what that will add.Based on my experience, the iPhone and the iPad are both using iPhone OS operating system. More reflections on this experiment next month. ITerminal (by ComcSoft Corporation) is available on the Apple App Store at. So everything I learn and use on the desktop will be valid for use on the iPad too. One key part of this decision is that I also use iTerminal on my Mac laptop (MacBook Air) and Desktop (MacMini). I’ll be using the free version for now, as I’m not a developer, and not likely to use the more advanced features of the Pro version. There is a free version, and a paid version. There are a variety of Terminals available for iOS these days in the App Store, two of the most popular being Terminus and SSH-Term (free version and paid Pro version).

Windows users might be familiar with PuTTY ().īut there is no Terminal application in iOS for the iPad. On the Apple Mac desktop/laptop I often use Terminal which is the default macOS terminal. If you remember the old days of computers, it’s basically a text interface, a bit like looking at the old MS DOS prompt.

So this month I’m starting my ‘iPad for real work’ preparation by finding a Terminal.įor those readers who are not involved in technical work a Terminal is an application we use to access servers, file systems, configuration files, and so on. My trials and tribulations using an iPad for work… this month … Terminals.
