1. Guile-SSH
Guile-SSH is a library that provides access to the SSH protocol for GNU Guile programs. It's built upon the libssh library.
1.1. Features
- The API that is sufficient for building of standalone SSH clients and servers, or for embedding client/server functionality in your lispy Scheme applications.
- Several authentication methods are supported, including password authentication, public key and SSH agent authentication methods.
- Key management procedures: you can make key pairs, read keys from files, get key hashes, get public keys from private keys etc. DSS, RSA, RSA1 and ECDSA (by means of OpenSSL) are supported.
- Port forwarding procedures and high-level API for creating of SSH tunnels.
- Distributed forms (
dist-map,distribute, …) that allow to spread the evaluation of Scheme code between remote hosts. Or you can just connect to a remote REPL from Scheme usingwith-sshprocedure and evaluate some expressions. No special server needed on the remote side, just an SSH daemon and GNU Guile installed! - SFTP client API allows you to read and write remote files over the SSH protocol right from the Scheme code.
- Remote popen API that allows you to make either input, output or bidirectional pipes to remote processes.
- Detailed documentation in Texinfo format with examples included, even more
examples in
