Secure Shell (SSH) for ClearPath MCP

Product Overview

The Secure Shell (SSH) for ClearPath MCP product provides an implementation of the industry-standard Secure Shell (SSH) protocols, which enable secure data communication. Applications use this infrastructure to provide services such as secure file transfer, using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP); terminals, using the SSH terminal protocol; remote command execution, through the SSH connection layer protocol; and other services. See “Key Features” for the services available in the ClearPath MCP software.

General Features

  • Inbound and outbound file transfers using SFTP are supported.

  • For initiating programs at remove systems over SSH (U SSHCLIENT), a remote command utility is included.
