What is ZOC Terminal?
ZOC Terminal brings remote shell connections and terminal emulation into a tabbed macOS application. It is aimed at administrators and people who regularly work with servers, network equipment or legacy systems. Alongside SSH, Telnet and serial connections, it supports emulations such as xterm, VT220, TN3270 and TN5250.
For an occasional connection, Quick Connect provides a compact set of connection options. For repeated work, the host directory stores destinations, while session profiles let related hosts share screen, keyboard and button-bar settings. Logging, keyboard remapping, scripting and file-transfer protocols including SCP and SFTP extend the workflow beyond entering commands.
ZOC is commercial software, not a permanently free terminal: the publisher offers a 30-day evaluation and sells a perpetual license. The linked DMG is the publisher-listed macOS 9.04.4 package. The screenshot is a publisher macOS interface example, not a verified capture of that release or a hands-on test.
What it offers
- Keep several terminal connections in tabs with a thumbnail overview.
- Save recurring destinations in a host directory and reuse session profiles.
- Connect over SSH v2, Telnet or serial and select terminal emulations including xterm, VT220 and TN3270.
- Customize keyboard mappings and button bars; automate tasks with scripts.
- Use logging and supported file-transfer protocols including SCP and SFTP.
Good to know
- The free evaluation lasts 30 days; continued licensed use requires purchasing a commercial license.
