hey i was wondering if anyone knows of a C++ SSH API. i've seen one for perl, and was wondering if there is anything similar for C++.

thanks.

I don't know of any, and openssh itself is not what I'd call an API, but you could use it since mixing c and c++ code is easy enough. Still, what most people usually do is to communicate with the userland tools directly.

A good point to start looking (even if you are using C++) is the source for scp (included in openssh). I can't give any more concrete answer since I never looked into it myself. But I know it's a simple program and the source must be small enough so you can examine it relatively fast.

thanks, i'll look into it. I am just starting out with programing, so it might be good to look at a program that's considered stable, and see how they do things.
