SSH API in Julia

[gael....@gmail.com]

Hi, I'm starting to replace some of my Python with Julia for actual work (post-processing actually). My files are on a remote cluster with an HTTP proxy between us. With Python, I have to Popen ssh/sftp because Paramiko has a bug with proxies in Python 3.

AFAIK, Julia is leveraging SSH for internode communications. So, I guess you either reimplemented the protocol or you used libssh...

But either ways, you've got a working implementation of SSH: is there a way to access it to SFTP files or SSH in remote locations from within Julia (as a language) ? (I don't care about the proxy yet)

Cheers,
Gaël

Julia shells out for all ssh functionality. supporting libgit in base would bring in libssh so maybe this should be reconsidered in the future.

Oh, interesting. That would explain why I couldn't find any SSH.jl with libssh bindings nor libssh references in Julia's sources.

Good to know.

I'll also shell out then. It should still be less cumbersome than Python's Popen.
Thanks.
