![]() Another useful SSH tool we might expect to see integrated with PowerShell is SCP (Secure Copy), to securely transfer files between Windows and Linux computers. Here, it's used to create a secure shell to a Raspberry Pi to manage its Raspbian operating system update. In the screenshot above, you can see the free and Open Source PuTTY (Opens in a new window) application, which implements SSH, on a Windows 10 (Build 10122) tablet. The ssh application can be run from the command line to create a secure tunnel to a remote computer over a network. Its tools replaces older insecure versions of tools like ftp and telnet, which transmitted passwords and other content in clear text that could be intercepted. Meanwhile, OpenSSH is an open source project that produces software tools that use the SSH (Secure Shell) encrypted network protocol, in order to let machines connect in a secure way. PowerShell provided the kind of power and programming expressiveness UNIX and Linux users had enjoyed for decades with a rich set of shells, such as the Bourne Shell, C-Shell, and BASH (Bourne Again Shell), and their associated scripting languages. ![]() It was a welcome relief to anyone who worked in the spare DOS command box, with the latter's relatively weak Batch language. If you haven't used it before, Microsoft's PowerShell is a command line environment with a powerful scripting language first released in late 2006. The Microsoft PowerShell team has made an unexpected-but-welcome announcement: The team will contribute to the OpenSSH (Opens in a new window) community to create a way to use Windows PowerShell with SSH, for securely connecting to and managing computers running Windows and Linux.
