OpenSSH is the open-source version of the Secure Shell (SSH) tools used by administrators of Linux and other non-Windows for cross-platform management of remote systems.OpenSSH has been added to Windows as of autumn 2018, and is included in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019.
Click “Add” afterwards and then click “Open” to open the SSH connection. You will also need to enter the address and port of the SSH server itself on the main “Session” screen before connecting, of course. Remote Port Forwarding: Make Local Resources Accessible on a Remote System. The SSH2 protocol implemented in OpenSSH is standardized by the IETF secshworking group and is specified in several RFCs and drafts. The overall structure of SSH2 is described in the architectureRFC. It is composed of three layered components. The Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH extension allows you to open a remote folder on any remote machine, virtual machine, or container with a running SSH server and take full advantage of VS Code's feature set. Once connected to a server, you can interact. Scp and ssh operate on the same ports and use the same protocol. If you open an ssh session, you can even share your connection with subsequent scp calls using options like ControlMaster. If you do not want people to copy particular files off of a machine, you should not give them any kind of shell access to the machine.
SSH is based on a client-server architecture where the system the user is working on is the client and the remote system being managed is the server.OpenSSH includes a range of components and tools designed to provide a secure and straightforward approach to remote system administration, including:
- sshd.exe, which is the SSH server component that must be running on the system being managed remotely
- ssh.exe, which is the SSH client component that runs on the user's local system
- ssh-keygen.exe generates, manages and converts authentication keys for SSH
- ssh-agent.exe stores private keys used for public key authentication
- ssh-add.exe adds private keys to the list allowed by the server
- ssh-keyscan.exe aids in collecting the public SSH host keys from a number of hosts
- sftp.exe is the service that provides the Secure File Transfer Protocol, and runs over SSH
- scp.exe is a file copy utility that runs on SSH
Documentation in this section focuses on how OpenSSH is used on Windows, including installation, and Windows-specific configuration and use cases. Here are the topics:

The master OpenSSH open source project is managed by developers at the OpenBSD Project.The Microsoft fork of this project is in GitHub.Feedback on Windows OpenSSH is welcomed and can be provided by creating GitHub issues in our OpenSSH GitHub repo.
