Overview

The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is used to establish a secure connection with a server which provides a virtual terminal session for a user. Its functionality is similar to how character based consoles and serial terminals work, enabling a user to login to the server, execute commands and interact with applications running on the server. The SSH library provides an API for establishing the connection and handling the standard I/O functions needed by the program. The library also provides functions that enable a program to easily scan the data stream for specific sequences of characters, making it very simple to write light-weight client interfaces to applications running on the server. This library can be combined with the Terminal Emulation library to provide complete terminal emulation services for a standard ANSI or DEC-VT220 terminal.

Requirements

The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any programming language which supports calling functions exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. You should install all updates for your development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio 2010.

This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service pack and all critical updates available for your version of the operating system.

This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native 64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later versions of the Windows operating system.

Distribution

When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your application executable. If you install the library into a shared location on the system, it is important that you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it should be registered as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
