## Access Windows SSH Client

The latest builds of Windows 10 and Windows 11 include a built-in SSH server and client that are based on OpenSSH, a connectivity tool for remote sign-in that uses the SSH protocol. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic between client and server to eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks.

By default, the OpenSSH client will be located in the directory: `C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH`. You can also check that it is installed in Windows Settings > Apps > Optional features, then search for "OpenSSH" in your installed features.
