Benefits

Unparalleled performance and scalability – Fortress SSH Server’s proprietary technology enables accelerated secure file transfer (SFTP) and secure file copy (SCP) at speeds up to 45-60 times faster than a prominent competitor. The software is highly scalable, supporting over 1000 concurrent sessions, while other SSH Server software typically supports only 30-40.

Supports latest technology and broad range of platforms – Pragma Fortress SSH Server runs under Windows 2008/Vista/2003/XP and supports three processor versions: 32-bit, 64-bit, and Itanium. We were the first SSH server to be certified with Windows Vista and we are committed to ongoing future support for the latest technology.

Flexible SSH Client support – Our SFTP server works flawlessly with Pragma Fortress SSH ClientSuite and is also compatible with SSH clients from other vendors. It’s also optimized for use on handheld RF devices and includes special configuration and feature support for handheld clients and devices.  

Customizable, easy to use, and streamlined deployment – Fortress SSH Server is extremely easy to install and intuitive to use. You can configure the software using a dialog window or command line program. It’s also easy to customize, allowing user-defined login scripts and customizable login shells. Finally, Fortress SSH Server is designed for seamless and easy deployment across large corporate environments.

Full featured – You won’t find a more full-featured SSH server anywhere. To name just a few more features beyond those above, Pragma Fortress SSH Server handles auto-loading of users’ public keys; supports ANSI, VTXXX, and WYSE terminal emulation; fully supports both wired and wi-fi networks; and includes complete auditing and logging capabilities.

Low cost, high value – Feature-rich Pragma Telnet Server is the lowest cost commercial SSH server you’ll find. Although open source alternatives don’t cost money up front, the extra time you spend installing, maintaining, and using them far outweighs any initial “cost savings.”   

Reliable and proven – More than a decade of engineering design and input from thousands of users have perfected Pragma Fortress SSH Server. It has proven to be the most reliable SSH software on the market – just install it, configure it to suit your preferences, and you’ll never have to think about it again.
