## What it is
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
