CoreSSH Server

Simple, Secure SFTP Hosting for Windows and macOS

CoreSSH Server is a lightweight, cross-platform SSH/SFTP server built for simplicity. Get started in minutes with secure, high-performance defaults right out of the box.

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:

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.
