Portable OpenSSH
Complete implementation of the SSH protocol
Portable OpenSSH is a cross-platform implementation of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol that provides encrypted communication and secure remote access over untrusted networks. It originates from the OpenSSH project maintained by the OpenBSD community and adapts the core OpenBSD implementation so it can run on many operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Windows. The software suite enables administrators and developers to securely log into remote systems, transfer files, and create encrypted tunnels for network traffic. By encrypting all communications between client and server, it protects against threats such as eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and data interception. The portable distribution follows the development of the main OpenSSH codebase while adding compatibility layers for multiple operating systems and authentication systems. -

Russh
Rust SSH client & server library
Russh provides a Rust library for implementing SSH clients and servers with a modern, async-friendly design. It exposes building blocks for authentication, channel management, port forwarding, and key handling, allowing you to embed SSH functionality directly into Rust applications. The API is designed to be explicit and composable, making it possible to implement custom behaviors like reverse tunnels, interactive shells, and service multiplexing. Because performance and safety are central, the code leverages Rust’s type system to reduce classes of runtime errors common in network protocol implementations. The project also includes examples and discussion threads that show how other tools integrate it for web-based clients or gateway services. For teams building terminals, proxies, or embedded management planes, it offers a robust foundation without shelling out to external binaries. -

Tabby Web
An SSH/Telnet/Serial client in your browser
Tabby Web brings a modern terminal experience to the browser by pairing a web UI with a backend gateway that brokers TCP connections over WebSockets. It aims to deliver an experience similar to the desktop Tabby terminal—sessions, profiles, and rich configuration—while being accessible anywhere through a login. The architecture splits concerns: a Django-based control plane manages users, auth, and configuration, while a gateway service handles network transport so browser clients can reach SSH, Telnet, or serial targets. This separation enables multi-user deployments with persistent settings, role-based access, and storage backends for artifacts. It’s useful for organizations that need managed remote access from within a web portal, without installing a full desktop client on every machine. With its focus on admin ergonomics and end-user UX, Tabby Web turns terminal access into a managed, auditable, and scalable web application. -

HPN-SSH is a series of performance patches for OpenSSH. By addressing network limitations and CPU limitations significant throughput performance can be realized. Gains of close to two orders of magnitude are possible on long fat network paths. The official git repo is now available at http://github.com/rapier1/openssh-portable. The Sourceforge repository should not be seen as the canonical repository for HPN-SSH. We will update it as we can but users should look to github to generate patches We also support Ubuntu packages. Add them to your package manager with `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rapier1/hpnssh` Fedora RPMs can be added with, `sudo dnf copr enable rapier1/hpnssh`
