OpenSSH

I like OpenSSH because of its reliability and security. It's a robust, open-source tool that provides secure remote access, file transfers, and command execution across systems, which makes it essential for managing servers and network infrastructure. The fact that it’s available on most operating systems and supports strong encryption makes it a go-to solution for secure communications.

But, its configuration can be complex for new users or those not familiar with SSH protocols. Some advanced features, like setting up public key authentication or fine-tuning security options, require technical know-how, which can be a challenge for beginners.

Mindless official website, exactly where to download?

SSH is an amazing app. With it you can do the following (just to name a few):

• Secure copy files over a network (scp/sftp)
• Securely tunnel any port/protocol over a network
• Remote login to PCs
• Use shared/private keys for password-less logins
• Set up a VPN
• Blow past firewalls
• Set up a proxy
• View remote X11 apps locally

It runs on nearly every OS out there (see Cygwin for Windows).
