TaniTerm for Windows

Version 1.2.3 · 125.4 MB · Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) · Download for ARM PCs (free trial)

Every SSH cipherModern and legacy, for old gear

Serial & TelnetConsole cables, any baud rate

SFTP, FTP & TFTPClients and servers built in

Network adapters built inSet your IP in one click

All in one

The tools you usually juggle, in one window

Terminal

SSH, Telnet, and serial consoles — every cipher, any baud rate.

File transfer

SFTP, FTP, and FTPS with drag and drop and a transfer queue.

Servers

Built-in FTP and TFTP servers for configs and firmware.

Network adapters

DHCP or static IP in one click, with saved profiles for repeat devices.

Sessions

Every device, one click away

Keep hundreds of switches, routers, firewalls, and servers in folders. Give each environment its own colors so production never looks like the lab.

  • SSH keys, agent, jump hosts, port forwarding
  • Legacy ciphers for old devices — 3DES, CBC, ssh-rsa
  • Drag to arrange sessions, commands, and tabs
  • 18 color schemes, or make your own

A configuration block ready to send in the Compose area

Compose

Check it before you send it

Paste a whole config into Compose, look it over, and press Return. TaniTerm flags smart quotes, long dashes, and hidden characters that break CLI commands — and fixes them in one click.

  • Skip # and % comment lines and blank lines
  • Line and character delays for slow devices
  • Send to one tab or every tab at once
  • History of everything you sent

SFTP & FTP

Files without another app

Open SFTP from any SSH session — same login, keys, and ciphers — or save FTP and FTPS sites with FileZilla-style settings. This PC on the left, the server on the right, and a transfer queue below.

  • SFTP, FTP, and FTPS (explicit or implicit TLS)
  • Drag and drop in either direction
  • Rename, delete, new folder, permissions
  • Replace or skip existing files

Servers

Copy configs and firmware in one click

Start the built-in FTP or TFTP server and let switches and routers copy straight to and from this PC — no extra server software. The toolbar button turns green while a server is running.

  • FTP server with users and shared folders (read-only or read/write)
  • FTPS with a certificate TaniTerm makes for you
  • TFTP server with large-block transfers
  • A live log of every login and transfer

Network Adapters

Change your IP without leaving the terminal

Plug into a switch, pick your Ethernet adapter, and set a static IP — or go back to DHCP — right inside TaniTerm. No more digging through Network Connections. Save a profile once for each device you set up again and again, and switch with one click.

  • Save profiles for repeat devices — one click to apply
  • DHCP or static IP, mask, gateway, and DNS
  • Sessions can set the IP before connecting
  • Built-in ping to test the device

Find in output with every match highlighted and a match count

Find

Find it in the scrollback

Search everything a session has printed — every match is highlighted, with a count and next/previous. Keep a separate log of just the commands you typed, too.

  • Search button in the toolbar, or Ctrl+Shift+F
  • Match count and case-sensitive search
  • Commands-only log, a new file each connection
  • Passwords are never written to the log

Layout

Arrange it your way

Put Sessions and Commands on either side, or both on one side with tabs for a wider terminal. Commands and Compose can also float in their own windows.

  • Four panel layouts, switch any time
  • Float Commands or Compose on another screen
  • Stacked button bars you can switch
  • Jump to any open tab from the tab list

Themes

A look that suits you

Choose the app theme separately from each session’s terminal colors — from TaniTerm Dark to a compact Classic look that feels at home next to other Windows tools.

  • TaniTerm Dark and Light
  • Classic and Classic Dark (compact)
  • Midnight Blue
  • Or follow Windows’ light/dark setting

And everything else

Made for long days on the console

Command library

Thousands of commands in nested groups. Pin favorites to the button bar; double-click to send.

Automatic logging

Log every session to the folder you choose, with optional timestamps on every line — plus an optional log of just the commands you sent.

Serial consoles

USB-serial adapters at any baud rate, parity, and flow control — with Send Break.

Auto login

Saved passwords encrypted for your Windows account and expect/send steps for enable prompts.

Remote desktop

Open RDP and VNC sessions from the same list as your terminals.

Copy on select

Highlight text to copy it. Paste-ready output, with Save Output for whole sessions.

Step-by-step commands

Wait for a prompt, type, wait again — run a whole login or config sequence with one click, with {password} filled in for you.

Button bars

Stack several bars of one-click buttons, switch a bar to another set, and drag buttons into order.

Ready for company IT

Signed by Tanicom, LLC, no admin rights needed. IT can manage updates and proxies, and activate every computer centrally — even offline.

Your layout, your look

Float or dock Commands and Compose, put panels on either side, and pick an app theme — dark, light, Classic, or Midnight.

Web pages & Java consoles (Beta)

Open a device’s web page in a tab next to its terminal — several ports per device, self-signed certificates trusted once. Java console links (iDRAC, iLO, ASDM) open in OpenWebStart or Java 8.

Share logs

Send a session’s log to a coworker in two clicks — attached to a new Outlook email or copied to paste into Teams, renamed if you like, with a reminder to check it for passwords first.

Questions

Can I try it first?

Yes. Download TaniTerm and it runs free for 14 days without a key. Buy any time and paste the key — your sessions and settings stay as they are.

How do I install it?

Run the downloaded TaniTerm .msi installer, then open TaniTerm from the Start menu. Most PCs need the standard (x64) download; Windows on ARM PCs have their own link under the button.

Which download do I need?

Most PCs (Intel or AMD) use the main Download button. PCs with ARM processors — such as Surface Pro X, Surface Pro (Snapdragon), and Copilot+ laptops with Snapdragon X — use the “Download for ARM PCs” link. Not sure? Open Settings ▸ System ▸ About and look at “System type”. The same license works with both.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is TaniTerm safe?

Yes. TaniTerm is signed by Tanicom, LLC. Windows SmartScreen shows this message for apps it hasn’t seen many times yet. Click “More info”, check that the publisher is Tanicom, LLC, then click “Run anyway”. The message goes away as more people install TaniTerm.

What do I need?

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), Intel/AMD or ARM.

I got a new PC. Can I move my license?

Yes. In My Account ▸ Licenses, remove the old computer, then activate on the new one.

How do I get updates?

TaniTerm checks for updates about once a day and installs them with one click — or choose Check for Updates in the Help menu. Updates for version 1 are free.

Does it work offline?

Yes. TaniTerm checks your license online about once a month and keeps working offline in between.

Can I give TaniTerm as a gift?

Yes. Choose “Give TaniTerm as a gift” under the Buy button. After checkout, pick who gets it, add a message, and choose when it’s delivered. You can change the recipient any time until it’s delivered — or until it’s activated.

Can I get a refund?

All TaniTerm sales are final — that’s why every feature is free to try for 14 days first. Please make sure it works for you before you buy. If you were charged twice, or your key doesn’t work and we can’t fix it, contact us from the Support page (link at the bottom) and we’ll make it right. Details are in our Refund Policy.

Can my company deploy TaniTerm?

Yes. TaniTerm is signed by Tanicom, LLC, installs without admin rights, and only contacts tanicom.com. IT can turn off automatic updates, set a proxy, and activate every computer centrally with Group Policy, Intune, or a Mac MDM — even computers with no internet. See the TaniTerm for IT page (link below the Questions) for the deployment guide and IT kit.

Can TaniTerm open old Java consoles?

Yes (Beta). Open the device’s web page in a TaniTerm tab, log in, and click its Java link (for example Launch Virtual Console on an iDRAC or iLO, or Run ASDM). TaniTerm hands the console to OpenWebStart (free) or Java 8, and can add the device to Java’s exception list. Pages with an applet embedded in the page itself need an old browser instead.

Does TaniTerm send my data anywhere?

No. Sessions, passwords, and logs stay on your PC. The app only contacts tanicom.com to check your license.
