Supported Platforms

This book covers Unix, Windows, and Macintosh implementations of SSH.

Tip

When we say "Unix" in this book, we mean the whole family of Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, OpenBSD, and Solaris.

SSH products are also available for the Amiga, BeOs, Java, OS/2, Palm Pilot, VMS, and Windows CE, and although we don't cover them, their principles are the same.

This book is current for the following Unix SSH versions:

OpenSSH

3.9[a]

SSH Tectia

4.2

[a] See Appendix A for a preview of new features in OpenSSH 4.0.

Version information for non-Unix products is found in their respective chapters.
