Introducing macOS Support
CoreSSH Server now runs natively on both macOS and Linux. Whether you're using a Mac for development or deployment, you'll get the same fast setup and security features — just on your platform of choice.

This release brings key features like process isolation, impersonation, and high availability to macOS, along with the clean, browser-based interface for managing your server.

Zero Risk Through Fully Managed Code
CoreSSH Server is implemented entirely in managed code, without reliance on open-source or unmaintained code. This simplifies deployment while also protecting against attacks that target old code, protocols, or cryptography. Built on the .NET Framework, CoreSSH leverages the platform's robust security to protect your data and environment.

Advanced, Not Complicated
CoreSSH handles the complexities of SSH & SFTP behind-the-scenes to provide users with a clean and simple server admin experience. Without needing to manually configure the server, CoreSSH protects data during transfer with modern cryptographic standards.

CoreSSH streamlines administration with an integrated web UI that supports user management, session monitoring, and detailed logs. Understand the performance, health, and status of your server without leaving the clean and intuitive browser-based console.

SSH and SFTP: The Power of Supporting Both
CoreSSH Server includes additional powerful features beyond SFTP file transfer. While SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is one common use of the SSH protocol, CoreSSH also supports SSH shell access. This empowers clients to engage in fully-interactive sessions with the server, opening the door to a long list of advanced use cases, including:

Create SSH tunnels and reverse tunnels to pass data through a secure connection
Execute remote powershell commands and scripts over SSH
Configure SCP as an alternative to SFTP

Rock Solid Reliability
Built on top of our IPWorks toolkit, a trusted networking and security library used by tens of thousands of developers worldwide, CoreSSH Server ensures industry-leading security and performance. Written entirely in .NET, it leverages the operating system's security infrastructure and our own proprietary security technology — no dependencies on third-party libraries or open-source code.

Flexible and Accessible Licensing
The Starter Edition is absolutely FREE to use, even for commercial purposes, and covers most individual file sharing needs. It comes with a perpetual license with no tracking, advertising, or other monetization mechanisms. All we ask is your feedback to help us improve our products.
