Suggestion for SSH #94

Open mbandu opened 1 month ago

mbandu commented 1 month ago

Hi,

Any suggestion for SSH support? Is this outside libcli?

Regards,

Bandu

Bandu - libcli doesn't support access via SSH directly, but we have used it internally behind ssh by setting the libcli based application as the default shell for users who are allowed to access it. This is on a Linux platform.

@RobSanders thank you so much for answer. Is that mean if I can use stdin for my libcli, it will work with SSH. Am I thinking it the right way?

thanks again.

I think so. May need to be careful of ssh idle detection not being aware of your libcli app taking a long time to process a command and killing the sessions perhaps.
