Setup PAC Manager on Ubuntu - Free Alternative to SecureCRT

If you are going to use Linux and free software you will need a SSH client like SecureCRT to access your network devices remotely. SecureCRT is a widely used industrial SSH client but it is not free. Of course you can use the Linux terminal itself but you will face limitations like session management etc. Here is the free solution, PAC Manager.  Actually it is more advanced than SecureCRT..

Be the root user..

sudo su

Enter following commands..

wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu trusty-getdeb apps" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'

Update the packages list..

apt-get update

Install the PAC Manager..
apt-get install pac

If a dependency problem occurred,
apt-get install -f

Now open the app..

Click on New Connection & give the ip address and the username, pw.. Save and Close.

Now click on the session name and you will log in..
