History

edit

The first version of CopSSH was developed in mid-2003 and was published as a free package on the Security Focus Secure Shell mailing list.[3] CopSSH has since then become very well known[4][5][6] and has been given various updates with newer versions of its underlying solutions.

Features

The CopSSH client can be used to initiate SSH/SFTP/SCP connections, while the CopSSH server is used as the SSH or SFTP server.

CopSSH administration GUI has the following features:

  • Service, connection, and event status
  • User Access Control with activation wizard
  • Public Key Administration with PKA wizard
