SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition

Other SSH Products

Unfortunately we can’t cover every SSH implementation, but here are summaries to aid your explorations. Because SSH products need to remain secure, we list only products that are in active development (or at least have been updated in the past year or two) and that support the SSH-2 protocol. This means we’ve intentionally left out dozens of older SSH products with respected histories, like NiftyTelnet SSH for the Mac, Top Gun SSH for Palm, FISH for VMS, and Sergey Okhapkin’s classic Windows port of the original SSH1. Old-timers like these have their place in history, but have been supplanted by more modern implementations.

We’ve organized the products by platform. Some products are free and others are shareware or commercial, usually quite inexpensive. Additionally, many of the commercial products have free evaluation versions available, so you can try before you buy.

13.3.2 Commodore Amiga

At press time, we have found no modern SSH clients for the Amiga. The closest is an Amiga port of OpenSSH (http://www.chernoff.org/amiga/, free). However, it’s a port of Version 3.0.2, which is several years out of date.

13.3.3 GNU Emacs

ssh.el (http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/src/ssh.e l, free) is an Emacs interface for SSH client connections. It does not implement ...
