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.

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:

Additional detailed documentation for common OpenSSH features is available online at OpenSSH.com.
