What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A Go library that wraps golang.org/x/crypto/ssh with a high-level, net/http-like API for building custom SSH servers. It lets developers handle SSH sessions with simple handler functions similar to HTTP handlers.
Use cases
- build a custom SSH server in Go
- create an interactive SSH-based CLI or REPL
- implement SSH-based remote command execution
- build an SSH chat or multiplayer terminal app
- add SSH access to a Go application
- authenticate SSH users with public keys or passwords
When to choose
- you want an SSH server in Go with an API as simple as net/http
- you need fine control over SSH sessions, auth, and PTY handling without writing protocol code
- you're building tools like ssh-chat, remote shells, or SSH gateways
When to avoid
- you need a full OpenSSH server replacement with SFTP, port forwarding, and system integration
- you need an SSH client rather than a server
- you're not developing in Go
