OpenSSH makes little sense (Open Secure SHell) as there is no notion of a 'shell' in eCos. One could run the Secure FTP protocol, but not using OpenSSH, per se.
The fact that OpenSSH has its name from Unix does not make the concept of a remote terminal useless to a system like eCos. Command line interfaces (CLIs) are very useful with embedded systems, too. It would be just great to have a SSH protocol implementation available that could be used for secure remote access to such CLIs. The fact that eCos does not come with a CLI framework is also not what I´d call a strength. We are using a home-grown CLI written in Javascript, but our interface can only be accessed using the serial port. There is a port of tcl which can be used to implement custom CLIs. Both of them would benefit from a SSH server framework in order to allow for remote access. We are not suffering enough to port OpenSSH to eCos, though. -Hans -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
