Secure remote login, command execution, and file transfer.

OpenSSH provides SSH version 2 clients and servers for remote login, command execution and file transfer. Its command-line tools include ssh, scp and sftp, alongside utilities for generating keys and holding them in a running agent. The portable edition brings OpenBSD’s implementation to Unix-like systems and supports native authentication and auditing integrations, including PAM.
