DotNetSecureSHEll

Pronounced dnishche (dʲnʲiɕːe) which means bottom.
A .NET wrapper for SSH libraries.

Project Roadmap

0. Start the project
1. Add libssh declarations
   • libssh
2. Add NuGet ☚ We are here
3. Add more libraries declarations
   • libssh2
   • wolfssl
   • OpenSSH
4. Add high level API.
5. Add native functions documentation.
6. Add generic SSH API.
7. Wrap .NET SSH libraries.

Why another library ?

.NET SSH libraries either not freeware or abandoned.
This library solves this problem by wrapping working and maintained SSH implementations.

Where are the native binaries ?

The native binaries are not provided in this repository.
Check download instructions on the relevant project page.

Windows

vcpkg install libssh
vcpkg install libssh2

Ubuntu

sudo apt install libssh-dev
sudo apt install libssh2-1

macOS

brew install libssh
brew install libssh2

Project organization

Every library has its own namespace, e.g. libssh - NN.Dnsshe.Libssh.

The top level namespace contains higher level functions.

Native namespace contains native methods and data structures.
The function declarations are preserved with SafeHandle change.
