Chapter 13. Overview of Other Implementations

SSH products are available not only for Unix, but also for Windows, Macintosh, Amiga, OS/2, VMS, BeOS, PalmOS, Windows CE, and Java. Some programs are original, finished products, and others are ports of OpenSSH or of Tectia ancestors, undertaken by volunteers and in various stages of completion.

In the remaining chapters of this book, we cover several robust implementations of SSH for Windows and the Macintosh. But first, in this chapter, we quickly survey SSH products for many platforms.

We have set up a web page pointing to SSH-related products that we know. From this book’s catalog page:
