ps. looks like most solutions use python ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-based_SSH ) or node.js

Answer 1

In order to use browser based SSH client application to connect to a SSH server, you will most likely going to need to build a proxy server in between those two applications. Because Javascript based SSH client is going to use WebSocket (preferably) or Ajax to connect to the server but typical SSH servers (those do not have HTTP or WebSocket server implementation) will reject your connections. In order to use / build a proxy server for this operation, which language to use is irrelevant (Java, PHP, C#, C++ can all do it) because any languages with TCP/IP socket API can be used to do it.

I hope my answer was helpful, and here is a blog link related to this topic
