A PowerShell module built on a custom SSH.NET library that provides SSH, SFTP, and SCP functionality for automating tasks on remote systems. Originally for Windows PowerShell, version 3.x also supports Linux and macOS via .NET Standard.

Use cases

• automate commands on multiple linux servers from windows
• run ssh commands from powershell scripts
• transfer files over sftp or scp programmatically
• set up ssh port forwarding in scripts
• manage ssh known hosts and keys
• automate remote server administration with powershell

When to choose

• you need to script SSH/SFTP/SCP operations in PowerShell
• you automate tasks across many SSH-enabled servers from a Windows host
• you need proxy support or port forwarding in scripted SSH workflows

When to avoid

• you need an interactive SSH terminal client
• you work outside PowerShell and prefer a native SSH CLI or a library in another language
• you need features beyond SSH such as Telnet or RDP
