Platforms and Downloads

Local Client Platforms

Supported local client platforms:

  • Linux
  • macOS
  • FreeBSD, NetBSD, and illumos where release artifacts are published
  • Windows x86_64

The client requires a working system ssh binary.

On Windows, use Windows Terminal or another console that supports Windows virtual terminal input. This lets special keys such as arrows, Home/End, and other line-editing keys reach the remote shell as normal terminal escape sequences.

Remote Server Platforms

Supported remote server platforms:

  • Linux
  • macOS
  • FreeBSD
  • NetBSD
  • illumos

The server component is not supported on Windows.

systemd-based Linux distributions are supported, but systemd is not required. No system-wide service install is required.
