Introduction
The Desktop SSH Agent enhances the SSH users' experience by providing a terminal independent SSH Connection Manager, Host Key Manager, and the ability to store and use private keys from your mobile phone. It is compatible with the most widely used SSH agents, OpenSSH's ssh-agent and PuTTY's Pagent, and is a drop-in replacement for these programs.
