This is the portable version of OpenSSH, a free implementation of the Secure Shell protocol as specified by the IETF secsh working group. . Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands on a remote machine. It provides secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel. It can be used to provide applications with a secure communication channel. . This package provides the ssh, scp and sftp clients, the ssh-agent and ssh-add programs to make public key authentication more convenient, and the ssh-keygen, ssh-keyscan, ssh-copy-id and ssh-argv0 utilities. . In some countries it may be illegal to use any encryption at all without a special permit. . ssh replaces the insecure rsh, rcp and rlogin programs, which are obsolete for most purposes.

It is needed if you want to access your SSH server with SFTP. The SFTP server module also works with other SSH daemons like dropbear. . OpenSSH's sftp and sftp-server implement revision 3 of the SSH filexfer protocol described in: . http:// com/txt/ draft-ietf- secsh-filexfer- 02.txt . Newer versions of the draft will not be supported, though some features are individually implemented as extensions.

This package provides OpenSSH's regression test suite. It is mainly intended for use with the autopkgtest system, though can also be run directly using /usr/lib/ openssh/ regress/ run-tests.

This metapackage is a convenient way to install both the OpenSSH client and the OpenSSH server. It provides nothing in and of itself, so you may remove it if nothing depends on it.

This has been split out of the main openssh-client package so that openssh-client does not need to depend on GTK+. . You probably want the ssh-askpass package instead, but this is provided to add to your choice and/or confusion.
