=======

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://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)

## 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}");

    }

}

```

  * 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")

  * PuTTY private key format ("PuTTY-User-Key-File-2", "PuTTY-User-Key-File-3")

* 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")

  * PuTTY private key format ("PuTTY-User-Key-File-2", "PuTTY-User-Key-File-3")

* 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")

## Building the library

The library has no special requirements to build, other than an up-to-date .NET SDK. See also [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md).

## Using Pre-Release NuGet Package

If you need an unreleased bugfix or feature, you can use the Pre-Release NuGet packages from the `develop` branch which are published to the [GitHub NuGet Registry](https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/pkgs/nuget/SSH.NET).

In order to pull packages from the registry you first have to create a Personal Access Token with the `read:packages` permissions. Then add a NuGet Source for SSH.NET:

Note: you may have to add `--store-password-in-clear-text` on non-Windows platforms.

```

dotnet nuget add source --name SSH.NET --username  --password  https://nuget.pkg.github.com/sshnet/index.json

```

Then you can add the the package as described [here](https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/pkgs/nuget/SSH.NET).

## Supporting SSH.NET
