sshdcommander 3.5.2

Persistent SSH daemon for AI agents — session pooling, SHA-256 verified SFTP, deploy manifests, certificate auth, and OS keyring credential storage. Built for Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and any AI agent with shell access.

sshDCommander

Persistent SSH daemon for AI agents and DevOps automation.

sshDCommander bridges AI agents to remote servers with persistent SSH sessions, SHA-256 verified file transfers, deploy manifests, and certificate-based authentication.

Why sshDCommander?

• Persistent sessions — daemon maintains long-lived SSH connections across tool calls, eliminating reconnect overhead
• AI-agent ready — built for Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Aider, Cline, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and any agent with shell access
• SHA-256 integrity — every file transfer is checksum-verified; deploy manifests record and verify deployment state
• Certificate auth — built-in Ed25519 CA for certificate-based authentication without password or key sprawl
• OS keyring — credentials stored in the OS keyring (DPAPI on Windows, libsecret on Linux), never in config files
