If you start your own sshd process, it must be limited in its
privileges.

o For the z/OS sshd server, you need Ported Tools, which require
  systems programmer action.  It's simply something you should have.

o I believe the MacOS ssh client is part of the base (at least at
  10.6.8,  but seems to be dumbing down OS X lately).

o Linux client is either part of base or an installation as simple
  as (Ubuntu) "sudo apt-get install ssh".

o Windows, you need to install such as PuTTY, Hummingbird, Cygwin,
  ...  I find Cygwin has greatest capabilities (biased opinion).

o iOS I don't know.
