@mainpage
This is the online reference for developing with the libssh library. It
documents the libssh C API and the C++ wrapper.
@section main-linking Linking
We created a small howto how to link libssh against your application, read
@subpage libssh_linking.
@section main-tutorial Tutorial
You should start by reading @subpage libssh_tutorial, then reading the documentation of
the interesting functions as you go.
@section main-features Features
The libssh library provides:
- Full C library functions for manipulating a client-side SSH connection
- SSH2 and SSH1 protocol compliant
- Fully configurable sessions
- Server support
- SSH agent authentication support
- Support for AES-128, AES-192, AES-256, Blowfish, 3DES in CBC mode, and AES in CTR mode
- Supports OpenSSL and GCrypt
- Use multiple SSH connections in a same process, at same time
- Use multiple channels in the same connection
- Thread safety when using different sessions at same time
- POSIX-like SFTP (Secure File Transfer) implementation with openssh extension support
- SCP implementation
- Large file system support (files bigger than 4GB)
- RSA and DSS server public key supported
- Compression support (with zlib)
- Public key (RSA and DSS), password and keyboard-interactive authentication
- Full poll()/WSAPoll() support and a poll-emulation for Win32.
- Runs and tested under x86_64, x86, ARM, Sparc32, PPC under Linux, BSD, MacOSX, Solaris and Windows

@subsection main-rfc-sftp Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
The protocol is not an Internet standard but it is still widely implemented.
OpenSSH and most other implementation implement Version 3 of the protocol. We
do the same in libssh.

SSH File Transfer Protocol
@subsection main-rfc-extensions Secure Shell Extensions
The OpenSSH project has defined some extensions to the protocol. We support some of
them like the statvfs calls in SFTP or the ssh-agent.
