What you need

  • A computer running a version of macOS, Windows or Linux supported by your chosen package.
  • A server you can reach over the network, valid credentials and an SSH service. File transfers also require SFTP to be enabled on the server.
  • Tailscale is not a general requirement for desktop SSH and SFTP. It is required for the phone-to-computer connection described on the phone access page.
