# DuskShell Feature Details

## SSH workspace

DuskShell keeps SSH terminal access as the central workflow. Users can connect to servers, inspect current state, run commands, and keep related tools next to the terminal instead of switching between many standalone utilities.

## Connection diagnostics

When a server cannot be reached, the user often needs to check host, port, network reachability, SSH authentication, key format, account permissions, firewall rules, and cloud security groups. DuskShell is designed to make those checks easier to follow.

## Command templates

Routine server work often requires remembering exact flags for log inspection, port checks, process inspection, archive commands, service restarts, file search, and disk usage. DuskShell provides command hints and explanations so users can work faster while still reviewing commands before execution.

## Remote files

DuskShell supports practical remote file workflows:

- Browse server directories.
- Upload and download files.
- Edit files online.
- Review paths and permissions.
- Work with configuration files such as `.env`, service config, deployment scripts, and site configuration.

## Server-to-server transfer

Server maintenance often involves moving files between machines. DuskShell includes server-to-server transfer workflows so users can move files without always downloading them locally first.

## Optional service tools

DuskShell focuses on SSH server management first. When components such as Docker, Nginx, or similar services are detected, the app can show matching tools for inspection and common maintenance:

- Service and component status.
- Recent logs.
- Listening ports.
- Configuration locations.
- Service status.
- Syntax or configuration checks when available.
- Common troubleshooting paths before returning to the terminal.

## AI assistance

AI assistance is used to explain errors, summarize command output, interpret logs, and suggest next diagnostic steps. It is not a silent automation layer. Users should review suggested commands and configuration changes before applying them.
