You can connect to a remote computer using a secure protocol and issue commands, transfer files, and tunnel TCP traffic to the remote machine, or through it to other machines.

This package includes the SSH, SCP, and SFTP server and client applications that support both the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols. Port forwarding, data compression, and encryption are among the main features.

Note: Applications that allow the end-user to encrypt their own data must meet the U.S. Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) requirements as described at http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Encryption/Default.htm.
