A couple weeks ago, I quietly posted the beginnings of a SharpSSH module on PoshCode: Link This module was based on Joel’s functions (Link), and for the most part kinda works. However, the underlying SharpSSH assembly has some issues with it, as mention by Joel in his post about his functions, and through my experience from scrapping together this very basic module. Thus, this assembly needs some work, or something better needs to be put together.
My belief is that that there truly needs to be SSH support in PowerShell. Furthermore, that support should be derived from an open source approach, not something that might be tied down to one particular vendor or another. I myself am committed to piecing together that solution. However, it would be great if I had help (the person currently helping me is about to be a dad, again – congrats!). So… for all you master coders… if you want to work with me on this, drop me a line through the NWW interface.
