First reaction: WOW, great! Second one: `cd: command not found`? mhh… Same with mv, cp, of course nano…

A list of the available commands would help! And I would love to see this, anyway, in Firefox Marketplace!

Also: do you want to treat it as close source software? If not, you host the source code somewhere, in order to allow contributions.

Hi, thanks for your comments. You can type help to see a list of commands that are support.

To answer your question about cd, mv, nano, etc I made this in the few hours I had yesterday afternoon, so I'm afraid I only had time to implement a small subset of commands.

I've now put it up on GitHub (https://github.com/grbsn/web-sh). I hope people can use it as a starting point to build their own web based console applications. Let's see how it goes!

You can type "help" to see a list of all commands.
