new version of openssh ?

(1/3) > >>

rdunkle:
I see a the latest version of OpenSSH is 7.3, released 1 August 2016.  The latest version for OS/2 I can find is at Hobbes  5.3p1.  Is there a newer port available ?

Also, an  updated Rysnc that works over SSh would be great !

Hey guys. openssh relies on some terminal stuff that is present in EMX but not in klibc (IIRC). I think there were also some issues with select() that may be addressed by dmik's libcx

If we can get openssh working with klibc, rsync over ssh should work. rsync built with klibc won't work with an EMX build of openssh (or vice versa)

I found a post from Dave Saville that confirmed my recollection of the issues with porting a recent openssh. With the introduction of a select() that works with file handles in libcx, I'll try recompiling openssh again. It may not be suitable as an ssh client due to the terminal stuff, but for use with things like rsync, the terminal stuff shouldn't matter.

Cheers,

Paul

The results don't quite match my memory.

There's an ssh.exe at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/ssh.zip

Terminal stuff is messed up, but it does appear to work.  No select() errors that I saw, if I linked it against libcx0 then I got an error connecting to the host....

I'd be interested to see if this works with rsync....
