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. -

FullAuto
Fully Automate ANY Process with *Persistent* SSH/SFTP from One Host
FullAuto is a groundbreaking secure programming framework that enables FULL API access to any number of simultaneous persistent SSH and SFTP connections to remote resources and devices. With FullAuto, connections are PERSISTANT enabling state preservation of file system navigations, environment manipulations, and user context shifting. Output and error messages from remote commands are returned accurately from both STDOUT and STDERR channels. With FullAuto persisent SSH/SFTP connections, automated processes can be DYNAMIC, intelligent and responsive - precisely in the same manner that highly trained professionals work with SSH/SFTP tools, to perform countless tasks manually. FullAuto works with the naked protocol, and connects directly with ordinary SSH/SFTP servers that already exist on nearly every UNIX platform, and many Windows and MAC systems. NO OTHER REMOTE SOFTWARE IS NEEDED. FullAuto is written entirely in Perl and has been tested on Linux, UNIX and Windows with Cygwin. -

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`

Backuso
Backup software for your data to local and remote SSH systems
Backuso – pronounce like the opera singer ‘Caruso’ – is a software for routine and automated backups of your computer to either a local storage or a remote storage on an SSH server, or both. A local storage is anything accessible in the directory structure of your computer. Most of the time this will be a (large) hard drive, mounted at a convenient location. A remote storage is anything which is accessed on your network via the ssh protocol. This could be a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in your local LAN, or a server share on the internet. Backuso is configured with a simple text file. You can start the backups manually or automatically, e.g. using crontab. Backuso is based on Python 3 and uses the software rsync as its core element. Hence it runs on systems where rsync is available (Linux, FreeBSD, Apple). -
