There are only two open source libraries for SSH that I am aware of. At least that are at the fundamental layer, written in C.<\/p>\n
I researched the SSH library market years ago when I stuck with libssh2<\/a> as the one I thought was most promising, and since then I and others have taken it much further. The lib that I didn’t go with at that time, confusingly enough named libssh<\/a>, recently came out with a new release.<\/p>\n Since there is now clearly two active<\/em> open source SSH libraries it feels like we should help our users and potential newcomers by explaining how our projects and libraries differ. As a little teaser: one of the libraries turned out more than twice as fast as the other in my test…<\/p>\n While I admit to not having actually used libssh for real, I’ve read the docs and I’ve tried it a little bit. My take at a comparison is now online at:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.libssh2.org\/libssh2-vs-libssh.html<\/a><\/p>\n I will highly appreciate your feedback and additional things that differ between the two! The list isn’t really much to boast about as it currently looks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are only two open source libraries for SSH that I am aware of.
