[Gambas-user] SSH

[Daniel Oxley]

But no direct action with Gambas?  I know it's a long shot, but I have a
component that works with Windoze, is there any way I could hack Gambas to
get it to work?

I've done ssh (with public/private keys set up so there's no 
keyboard authentication) just by going shell "ssh somehost -l 
someuser" for read write as myprocess.  Works great.  I'm sure 
there'll be an openssh component someday but this has been fine 
for what I need now.  And I would bet that you could use the 
sftp client the same way, and it might even work better with 
keyboard authentication.

Some people may think it's clumsy to use client programs over 
pipes rather than writing a component, but the openssh suite 
does that itself to implement things like scp.... it just runs 
scp in the remote shell rather than having file copying support 
in the ssh daemon.
