Re: libssh for Windows questions

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lance,

Unfortunately Andreas who's maintaining the Windows port is away and
cannot reply your question. I never heard any problems to scp transfers
like the one you mention, it would be good to track it more deeply. Can
you reproduce it on Linux? If so we could start tracking it.
If you want to build it yourself, all versions of libssh build on
windows. I suggest you pick the latest one. You will need cmake, zlib
and openssl. Some hints here:
http://www.libssh.org/archive/libssh/2012-08/0000032.html

Yes, it is possible to set up timeouts.
http://api.libssh.org/master/group__libssh__session.html#ga7a801b85800baa3f4e16f5b47db0a73d
# SSH_OPTIONS_TIMEOUT: Set a timeout for the connection in seconds (long).
# SSH_OPTIONS_TIMEOUT_USEC: Set a timeout for the connection in micro
seconds (long).

Kind regards,

Aris
