User Guide Bulk Actions

Bulk Actions

Act on many hosts at once from the hosts dashboard: open a tab per host, run one command everywhere in parallel, or push files to the same path on every server.

Selecting Hosts

1. Click SELECT in the dashboard toolbar — every host card gets a checkbox.
2. Tick the hosts you want, or use SELECT ALL — it respects the active smart filter, so you can filter first and select only the matches.
3. CLEAR empties the selection; DONE or Esc leaves select mode.

The action bar shows the selection count and the three bulk actions.

Connect All

Opens an SSH tab for every selected host. Hosts that already have a connected session are skipped, and opening more than 5 tabs asks for confirmation first.

Run Command

Run one command — free text or a saved snippet — on every selected host in parallel:

• Commands run with bounded concurrency and a 30-second per-host timeout; one host failing never stops the others.
• Each host row shows live status, exit code, and duration; expand a row to see its stdout/stderr.
• The Diff tab groups identical outputs against a baseline (any group can be promoted to baseline) and can side-by-side compare any two hosts — handy for spotting the one server with a different config.

Push Files

Upload files or folders to one remote path on every selected host:

• The destination directory is created if it doesn't exist; existing files are overwritten.
• Per-host byte progress, with cancel.

Cancelling Mid-Run

Closing a bulk dialog while work is still running asks for confirmation: queued hosts are cancelled, while in-flight operations finish and record their real result.
