Ssh library was designed to be used by programmers needing a working SSH implementation by the mean of a library. Runs only on x86 linux, bsd and MacOS X.

libssh is a C library to access SSH 2 services from a program. It can remotely execute programs, transfer files, and serve as a secure and transparent tunnel for remote programs. Its Secure FTP implementation can play with remote files easily, without third-party programs others than libcrypto (from OpenSSL).

Use multiple channels in the same connection
Thread safety when using different sessions at same time
Basic but correct SFTP implementation (secure file transfer)
RSA and DSS server public key supported
Compression support (with zlib)
Public key (RSA and DSS), password and keyboard-interactive authentication
A complete documentation about its API
