    What is OpenSSH?

    OpenSSH is a free version of the SSH connectivity tools that technical users rely on. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks. Additionally, OpenSSH provides secure tunneling capabilities and several authentication methods, and supports all SSH protocol versions.

    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).

    That depends on which OS you're running. As I mentioned, see Cygwin for Windows or do a search on "cygwin ssh".
