The wolfSSH library is a lightweight SSHv2 client and server library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded, RTOS, resource-constrained, and IoT environments – primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. wolfSSL supports the industry standard SSH v2.

wolfSSH is powered by the wolfCrypt library. wolfCrypt is FIPS 140-2 and Level 1 validated, with certificate #3389 & will be the first FIPS 140-3 certified.

wolfSSH is built for maximum portability, and is generally very easy to compile on new platforms. If your desired platform is not listed under the supported operating environments, please contact wolfSSL Inc.

wolfSCP and wolfSFTP can be a complement to wolfBoot for software updates. A file system is not needed. With callbacks, firmware may be written to flash directly.
