PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH
Win32 OpenSSH
Win32-OpenSSH is a secure shell suite that provides an OpenSSH port for Windows operating systems. It consists of an SSH server for remote management and authentication, a secure shell client for establishing encrypted connections, and an SFTP server for managing files.
The project enables secure remote administration of Windows servers and workstations via a command line interface. It supports encrypted file transfers using SFTP and SCP protocols and allows for cross-platform remote management of Windows systems from Linux or macOS environments.
The implementation integrates with Windows services to allow the daemon to run in the background. It utilizes a privilege-separated process model and the SSH-2 protocol to maintain secure communication channels.
