libURL -- FTP over SSH

Tue Oct 5 10:41:21 EDT 2004

I would invoke ssh via the shell command and the correct ssh cert in my ".ssh" directory (to prevent a password prompt on unix) then simply use libURL with my locally forwarded port. You can pass a option into SSH wich will only establish the port forward and not provide a terminal.  If you are using Windows checkout plink and pagent part of the putty suite of tools.  I have used them in a previous project and the client was very happy with the solution.  The other option is to use open process and communicate with ssh via it's stdin and stdout.  From my experience this option is the most flexible (in C++, JAVA, and PERL) but is a bit unstable in RR (and completely unavailable on OS X).  The last option I would consider is using the SSH Library which compiles and executes on most platforms but require the coding of a external.

How would one implement this in a revolution script?
