Introduction

Welcome to IPWorks SSH, a comprehensive suite of Secure Shell (SSH)-enabled client communications components supporting strong encryption and advanced cryptography. Developers can easily build SSH 2.0 secured applications with such features as secure file transfer, secure remote login, and secure tunneling. The toolkit includes support for encryption algorithms, such as AES GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305, and many more, as well as ECDH (elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman) SSH key exchange algorithms.

Go-specific notes

The Go Edition includes the source code written in Go and a C bridge to the native library that comes in the precompiled form. For the compiler to handle this source code, you need CGo to be functional. CGo is a pseudo-package used for interoperations between the Go code and C/C++ components and external code. If you are installing IPWorks SSH on Windows, then as per Go Wiki, "... to use cgo on Windows, you'll also need to first install a gcc compiler (for instance, mingw-w64) and have gcc.exe (etc.) in your PATH environment variable before compiling with cgo will work.". One prominent option for a GCC compiler for Windows is MSYS2, but you can also use the build of cygwin or mingw of your choice.

Included Components

CertMgr The CertMgr class is used to create, read, and manage certificates.
SCP The SCP class can be used to transfer files to and from Secure Shell (SSH) servers using the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP).
SExec The SExec class is used to remotely execute a command on a Secure Shell (SSH) server.
SFTPClient The SFTPClient class can be used to transfer files to and from secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) servers.
SFTPServer The SFTPServer class is used to create a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server.
SSHClient The SSHClient class implements a fully functional, open-ended Secure Shell (SSH) client.
SShell The SShell class is used to open a shell connection to a Secure Shell (SSH) server.
SSHReverseTunnel The SSHReverseTunnel class provides a simple way to establish a reverse tunnel with a Secure Shell (SSH) host.
SSHServer The SSHServer class is used to create Secure Shell (SSH) servers. The class handles multiple simultaneous connections on the same Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP port (service port). It is designed to balance the load between connections for a fast, powerful server.
SSHTunnel The SSHTunnel class can be used to tunnel data through a Secure Shell (SSH) server to a remote location.
