"Unusable examples"
What do you like best about OpenSSH?

Not convinced by the libraries. The putty libraries worked without issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSSH?

Example code wouldn’t connect to test ssh servers whereas putty did. This was enough to convince me the libraries would be more trouble than they’re worth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best tool for remote control on linux"
What do you like best about OpenSSH?

It's already pre-installed and it is very easy to use. I like the sharing of the keys most because typing a password can be a problem in a terminal sometimes. Also, the SFTP protocol is really really useful for file transfer over ssl-encrypted lines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenSSH?

It would be cool if it was readily available as a server on windows too, but Windows is just so different as it doesn't use bash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
