Maybe there is still time for somebody to take it on for GSOC? Just wanted to chime in and say that I intended to take over development of ne7ssh, but after significant work I found that it had some serious problems that made it pretty useless as a general ssh client library. It was more geared toward automated testing (i.e. send a command to a remote host and wait for the response). As such I decided to use it as a rapid prototype for cppssh. Which I intend to use as a general purpose ssh2 client library. Anyways, the library still needs to be hardened, and I am not really going to start using it for anything until botan 1.11 goes stable. But it works fairly well so far, and it is gpl. https://github.com/cdesjardins/cppssh |
