Have you tried gnome-terminal for a tabbed minimal UI for ssh? How about rsync for transferring files? How about ssh-copy-id?

What is the point of this project?

This is for people who manage multiple machines and prefer a graphical, unified GUI, and also for newbies, the same users who use Putty, Mobaxterm or Termius.

It does have buttons for ssh-copy-id and scp. I preferred rsync myself but the problem is that it's not installed by default and the user must manually install it on their remote machine.
