Muon SSH Terminal/SFTP Client is a powerful graphical SSH client designed to simplify working with remote servers. Formerly known as "Snowflake," the project has been renamed to avoid confusion with another popular product of the same name.
This project is the continued work of subhra74, who originally developed it as Snowflake.
Not everyone prefers or is comfortable working with English-based software. By offering multi-language support, we aim to make our tool more user-friendly and accessible to a global audience, ensuring that users can work in the language they are most comfortable with.
