The SSH library
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
1* Why ?
|
||
-_-_-_-_-_
|
||
|
||
Why not ? :) I've began to work on my own implementation of the ssh protocol
|
||
because i didn't like the currently public ones.
|
||
Not any allowed you to import and use the functions as a powerful library,
|
||
and so i worked on a library-based SSH implementation which was non-existing
|
||
in the free and open source software world.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2* How/Who ?
|
||
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
|
||
|
||
If you downloaded this file, you must know what it is : a library for
|
||
accessing ssh client services through C libraries calls in a simple manner.
|
||
Everybody can use this software under the terms of the LGPL - see the COPYING
|
||
file
|
||
|
||
If you ask yourself how to compile libssh, please read INSTALL before anything.
|
||
|
||
3* Where ?
|
||
-_-_-_-_-_-_
|
||
|
||
http://www.libssh.org
|
||
|
||
4* API Changes !
|
||
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
|
||
|
||
Changes between 0.4 and 0.5
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
We use the ssh_ prefix as namespace for every function now. There is a legacy.h
|
||
which could be used to get the old function names.
|
||
|
||
Changes between 0.3 and 0.4
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
We changed libssh to be typesafe now:
|
||
|
||
SSH_SESSION *session -> ssh_session session
|
||
SFTP_SESSION *sftp -> sftp_session sftp
|
||
CHANNEL *channel -> ssh_channel channel
|
||
STRING *string -> ssh_string string
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
The options structure has been removed and there is a new function. This
|
||
function can set all available options now. You can find the enum in the
|
||
header file and it is documented. Example:
|
||
|
||
ssh_options_set(session, SSH_OPTIONS_HOST, "localhost");
|
||
|
||
5* Copyright policy
|
||
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
|
||
|
||
The developers of libssh have a policy of asking for contributions to be made
|
||
under the personal copyright of the contributor, instead of a corporate
|
||
copyright.
|
||
|
||
There are some reasons for the establishment of this policy:
|
||
|
||
* Individual copyrights make copyright registration in the US a simpler
|
||
process.
|
||
* If libssh is copyrighted by individuals rather than corporations,
|
||
decisions regarding enforcement and protection of copyright will, more
|
||
likely, be made in the interests of the project, and not in the interests
|
||
of any corporation’s shareholders.
|
||
* If we ever need to relicense a portion of the code contacting individuals
|
||
for permission to do so is much easier than contacting a company.
