I'm planning to connect to an SSH development server, and do some developing on my iPad (mild developing) just wondering what is the best ssh client for iPad.. Thanks
Panic's Prompt is probably the best. It can run in the background for a little bit and sends you a notification if it is about to close the connection.
I don't know of any apps that would run in the background for a very long time, as the OS is in charge of closing background apps.
