Swish

What is Swish?

Swish is a plugin for Microsoft Windows Explorer that adds support for SFTP.

If you've used Explorer's built-in FTP support, Swish is that but for SFTP over SSH.

Supported Operating Systems

Windows 8 (most tested)
Windows 7 (occasionally tested)
Windows Vista (rarely tested)

Swish may also work on Windows XP, but we haven't tested that in a while.

Binaries

Binary installers are on our website.

Getting involved

We welcome patches to help improve Swish.

Swish fetches almost all its dependencies when you configure it with CMake. That magic happens thanks to the Hunter package manager. However, you will need Perl installed. Strawberry Perl is good, and available on Chocolatey.

You'll also need a compiler (obviously), a recent version of the Windows SDK and CMake.

Why have an exception for OpenSSL?

The OpenSSL library is incompatible with the GPL license because it contains an advertising clause. However lots of useful, open source software (including our own projects) need to use it and currently the alternatives aren't quite up to scratch. As we want these projects to be able to reuse Washer, we have added this exception to the GPL - a common technique used by other projects such as wget.

If GnuTLS improves to the point where OpenSSL is no longer necessary, we may remove this exception.
