SSH.NET is a Secure Shell (SSH-2) library for .NET, optimized for parallelism.

[![Version](https://img.shields.io/nuget/vpre/SSH.NET.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/SSH.NET)
[![NuGet download count](https://img.shields.io/nuget/dt/SSH.NET.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/SSH.NET)
[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/ih77qu6tap3o92gu/branch/develop?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/ih77qu6tap3o92gu/branch/develop)

## Key Features

* Execution of SSH command using both synchronous and asynchronous methods
* SFTP functionality for both synchronous and asynchronous operations
* SCP functionality
* Remote, dynamic and local port forwarding
* Interactive shell/terminal implementation
* Authentication via publickey, password and keyboard-interactive methods, including multi-factor
* Connection via SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy

## How to Use

### Run a command

```cs
using (var client = new SshClient("sftp.foo.com", "guest", new PrivateKeyFile("path/to/my/key")))
{
client.Connect();
using SshCommand cmd = client.RunCommand("echo 'Hello World!'");
Console.WriteLine(cmd.Result); // "Hello World!\n"
}
```

### Upload and list files using SFTP

```cs
using (var client = new SftpClient("sftp.foo.com", "guest", "pwd"))
{
client.Connect();

using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(@"C:\tmp\test-file.txt"))
{
client.UploadFile(fs, "/home/guest/test-file.txt");
}

foreach (ISftpFile file in client.ListDirectory("/home/guest/"))
{
Console.WriteLine($"{file.FullName} {file.LastWriteTime}");
}
}
```

## Encryption Methods

**SSH.NET** supports the following encryption methods:
* aes128-ctr
* aes192-ctr
* aes256-ctr
* aes128-gcm@openssh.com
* aes256-gcm@openssh.com
* chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
* aes128-cbc
* aes192-cbc
* aes256-cbc
* 3des-cbc

## Key Exchange Methods

**SSH.NET** supports the following key exchange methods:
* curve25519-sha256
* curve25519-sha256@libssh.org
* ecdh-sha2-nistp256
* ecdh-sha2-nistp384
* ecdh-sha2-nistp521
* diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
* diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
* diffie-hellman-group16-sha512
* diffie-hellman-group14-sha256
* diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
* diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

## Public Key Authentication

**SSH.NET** supports the following private key formats:
* RSA in
* OpenSSL traditional PEM format ("BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY")
* OpenSSL PKCS#8 PEM format ("BEGIN PRIVATE KEY", "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY")
* ssh.com format ("BEGIN SSH2 ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY")
* OpenSSH key format ("BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY")
* DSA in
* OpenSSL traditional PEM format ("BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY")
* OpenSSL PKCS#8 PEM format ("BEGIN PRIVATE KEY", "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY")
* ssh.com format ("BEGIN SSH2 ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY")
* ECDSA 256/384/521 in
* OpenSSL traditional PEM format ("BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY")
* OpenSSL PKCS#8 PEM format ("BEGIN PRIVATE KEY", "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY")
* OpenSSH key format ("BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY")
* ED25519 in
* OpenSSL PKCS#8 PEM format ("BEGIN PRIVATE KEY", "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY")
* OpenSSH key format ("BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY")

Private keys in OpenSSL traditional PEM format can be encrypted using one of the following cipher methods:
* DES-EDE3-CBC
* DES-EDE3-CFB
* DES-CBC
* AES-128-CBC
* AES-192-CBC
* AES-256-CBC

Private keys in OpenSSL PKCS#8 PEM format can be encrypted using any cipher method BouncyCastle supports.

Private keys in ssh.com format can be encrypted using one of the following cipher methods:
* 3des-cbc

Private keys in OpenSSH key format can be encrypted using one of the following cipher methods:
* 3des-cbc
* aes128-cbc
* aes192-cbc
* aes256-cbc
* aes128-ctr
* aes192-ctr
* aes256-ctr
* aes128-gcm@openssh.com
* aes256-gcm@openssh.com
* chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

## Host Key Algorithms

**SSH.NET** supports the following host key algorithms:
* ssh-ed25519
* ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
* ecdsa-sha2-nistp384
* ecdsa-sha2-nistp521
* rsa-sha2-512
* rsa-sha2-256
