Current Project State

SSHTools is currently not under active development. However, we are still maintaining the project and updating the source tree in case bugs are reported.

Documentation

We are planning to add some documentation of how to use the SSH client of SSHTools, but we need your help. Please get involved and write some documentation on topics that interest you, e.g., how to transfer a file via SFTP or how to connect to an SSH server using public/private key pairs. Of course, you can also make suggestions which particular topic should be covered.
