ssmctl

CLI for AWS SSM shell sessions, port forwarding, and file transfer, no bastion

Desktopfree

ssmctl is a free, open-source Go CLI that wraps AWS Systems Manager to give a shell, port forwarding, one-off remote commands, and file transfers to EC2 instances without a bastion host, open security-group ports, or SSH keys. It resolves instances by their Name tag, reads and writes Parameter Store secrets from the terminal, and uses the same AWS APIs and security model as the raw AWS CLI with far shorter commands. It's for DevOps engineers who regularly need to debug or connect to private EC2 instances and don't want to maintain a bastion host or manage SSH keys.
