If you are a University or Non-profit Org, you can get the commerical ssh from www.ssh.com I do not know how much they charge if you do not qualify for free version. (Both the free and the pay versions are the same from them, they just toss the license file into the free version for those who qualify.) Their website has all the rules for who can get free version. They call it the non-commerical version because they do not charge. We have had pretty good experience with it, but you have to stay pretty close to the current version for bug fixes, etc. Compiles and drops into the system easily.

I'd use OpenSSH. You can use the link Stephan has above for a pre-compiled version. But that version is quite old and has a few security bugs. I'd get the latest from www.openssh.org and compile it. It is completely free and is compatible for both version 1, 1.5 and 2 of SSH and works with most OS Platforms. The commercial version of SSH (www.ssh.com) is fine too especially if for non-commerical (free) use, but I think OpenSSH is good enough that the cost for the other is not worth the price. ($100 for workstations, $475 for servers).

Hi,

You can obtain 'ssh' from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/
It is free and already compiled. It is really
easy to install but does not come with the
automatic startup scripts. These can be obtained by downloading the source from www.openssh.com which does have these startup scripts in the bundle. If you have trouble compiling packages, start with the compiled version even though it is a few versions behind.

You can get OpenSSH depot file from here:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/openssh-2.5.1p1/

It is free for use, it has dependencies on OpenSSL, but there is a link available on that page.
I use it here on all my servers and it works like a charm.

As others have already mentioned, I would get the sources from
www.openssh.org

But to compile this you do need to fullfil a few prerequisites.
You need to have installed/compiled the following software (all under GPL) a priori:

1. Perl 5.X
2. zlib
3. openssl

Especially the make of openssl is a somewhat time consuming process.
But it's well worth having this lib on your system, because it's good for all sorts of other encryption software (e.g. GnuPG, Apache's SSL/TSL etc.)
The procedure of how to install all the required components should be outlined in the READMEs and INSTALLs.
Of course there are also precompiled depots for HP-UX, but that's half the fun ;-)
Good luck
