SERVER WORKSPACES / ORGANIZATION

Every server gets its own workspace.

Group related hosts, keep terminal and file tabs attached to the right connection, and bring your setup to another computer with an encrypted sync file.

01 / WHY IT MATTERS

The hard part of juggling several servers is remembering which context is active — especially when production and staging look alike.

ShadeTerm keeps your tools focused on a connection and the task you are doing — rather than adding more windows and manual steps.

01 / FEATURE

Organize by real project

Group hosts for a project, environment or workflow. Give each group its own name and visual organization.

02 / FEATURE

Avoid cross-server confusion

Keep the terminals, files and editor tabs for a connection together. A change of server is an explicit context switch.

03 / FEATURE

Move your setup when needed

Export an encrypted .shadeterm file and import it on another machine, rather than rebuilding host entries and preferences by hand.

02 / IN PRACTICE

How this fits your server workflow.

Designed around everyday developer tasks, not a dashboard of features you never use.

Workspaces are more than folders

A workspace makes the server itself the unit of organization. You can have several independent tasks for the same host without mixing their tabs with a different connection.

This is particularly useful for production, staging and personal lab systems where identical filenames or terminal prompts might otherwise look similar.

An encrypted file, not a hidden cloud dependency

ShadeTerm documents password-protected encrypted .shadeterm exports for moving or backing up servers, selected secrets, snippets, and settings. Import is a separate deliberate action.

Do not describe this as automatic cloud synchronization. Treat exported files as sensitive backups and store their passwords securely.

03 / WORKFLOW

From connection to result.

A focused sequence you can follow in your own ShadeTerm workspace.

01 / STEP

Organize hosts

Group the servers you use together into workspaces.

02 / STEP

Work per host

Keep Terminal, SFTP and Code tabs scoped to the connected server.

03 / STEP

Export if needed

Create an encrypted sync file when transferring or backing up your setup.

04 / DETAILS

Common questions.

Practical limitations and useful details before you get started.

Is a workspace the same as an SSH connection?

A server has its own set of workspace tabs. User-created workspaces can group several servers together.

Is the sync file stored automatically in the cloud?

No. The documented feature is an encrypted export/import file; moving it between devices is under your control.

What can go inside a sync export?

The documented export lets you choose servers, passwords/private keys, snippets, and application settings.
