C# Windows App - SSH

[Jesse Charbneau]

Hi Everyone,
If I'm posting to the wrong group, please let me know. I have an
application that I am writing to communicate from a Windows host to a
UNIX server via SSH.

What I would like to do, is send one command at a time, but without
having to re-authenticate for each command. I am currently using a COM
component (trial version) from djHD, but this only allows me to use the
ExecCommand method and putting a command like "cmd1;cmd2;cmd3" doesn't
seem to work. I have emailed the author, but so far, have not heard
back.

I have also looked at using a opensource ssh lib from granados, but
found the documentation and samples where almost non-existent.

I really need the functionality typically found in the scripting
language Expect. Is there any way to accomplish this using C#? I am
building a Windows Forms app, and would really like to stick with C# if
possible.

Thanks for the assistance,
Jess

If anyone has samples of using the granados libs that would certainly
help. The sample that came with the lib, did more of a send a byte at
a time instead of a full command, which seemed a little confusing.

I've not tried the SSH stuff, but their other components are nice.

Actually, it appears that they have no SSH stuff. Must have been one of the
other evaluations.

Nevermind.

Have a look at this component, looks like it may do what you need. I have
no experience with it personally, though we did look into using it, however
we ended up not needing SSH functionality.
