Overview
A Flutter package that enables SSH and SFTP connectivity on Android and iOS by wrapping native libraries NMSSH (iOS) and JSch (Android). It allows secure remote server access and file transfers, making it ideal for applications requiring encrypted communication with servers. The package provides a straightforward interface to establish connections, execute commands, and manage files over SFTP. It is particularly useful in scenarios involving remote configuration, deployment, or data synchronization. Developers benefit from platform-specific optimizations while maintaining cross-platform consistency.
