OpenSSH

OpenSSH for OpenVMS: a suite of secure networking utilities.

IMPORTANT: The V8.9-1I01 kit supersedes the V8.9-1I kit which has been withdrawn because of an issue that was discovered post-release. If you have installed V8.9-1I, make sure to upgrade to V8.9-1I01.

OpenSSH is an open-source (BSD-licensed) suite of secure networking utilities based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol which provides a secure channel over a potentially unsecured network. OpenSSH is a complete implementation of the SSH protocol (version 2) for secure remote login, command execution, and file transfer. It includes SSH client and server components, file transfer utilities SCP and SFTP, as well as the tools for key generation, run-time key storage, and a number of other supporting programs. The current OpenSSH port for OpenVMS is based on OpenSSH 8.9.
