As of late 2018, Windows 10 and Windows 2019 come up with OpenSSH installed. I had to use OpenSSH in some of the scripts at work, but managing the connections became difficult. So, I created a small .NET program that manages SSH connections. It’s a very simple SSH GUI front-end for OpenSSH. It’s not meant to be a replacement for putty or any other SSH terminal programs.
In case you get an error that your PEM certificate is wide open, change the permissions on that file. Do this from a command prompt, not from a Power Shell prompt.
