Web-based SSH clients basically consist of the following parts:
- Client-side: Typically JavaScript and dynamic HTML pages are used to capture keystrokes, transmit messages to/from the server and display the results in the user's web browser.
- Server-side/Web application: Incoming requests are processed on the web application server. Keyboard events are forwarded to a secure shell client communicating with the connected SSH server. Terminal output is either passed to the client where it is converted into HTML via JavaScript or it is translated into HTML by the server before it is transmitted to the client.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
