Both MacOS and Windows come with a built-in terminal app. If there’s support for URL Scheme, it means that a terminal SSH session can be initiated through a web page hyperlink. Let’s explore its feasibility.
Support for URL-Scheme
MacOS
ssh://<username>@<host>:<port>
By default, it runs on Terminal, but you can change it to open with third-party terminal apps like iTerm2.
Windows
Upon actual verification, it’s not supported by default. However, apps like Putty can be configured to support it, here’s an example.
Windows itself has some built-in URL Schemes, for instance, to launch the store’s specific app page, like the Terminal product page, click to test
Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that Windows 11 comes with Terminal pre-installed, whereas earlier versions required manual installation.
In Conclusion
Hoping for Windows to improve its support in this area, as it still lags behind MacOS.
