While I largely agree with this, I think it would probably be wisest to peruse the available documentation on adopting a scheme for SSH URIs. The IETF seems to have a draft on this particular subject at <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri-04>. > Putty provides a command line tool for doing such operations.

Having some I'd say that, as a Windows user, I'm reasonably used to having to snag a few things to get SSH working, albeit in a completely non-performant fashion. Some days I do wish I were still on something UNIX-like, but alas! ;) > default lookups > for Putty, cygwin, and mingw with an option to specify a custom path > should be sufficient. Anyone sane will ensure that these extra tools reside somewhere in their %Path% at the appropriate time, so I wouldn't worry about it. If it's a really thorny issue, just allow the user to specify his or her own SSH implementation by way of a global configuration parameter or by a shell variable. > While I don't personally use Windows, I think having near identical feature > sets > on all platforms is important. This is probably the biggest reason for my draw to Fossil. I'd definitely find SSH functionality a huge boon there. That said, in response to drh's previous mail, when I get a spare moment, I'll look at how to emulate bi-directional popen() functionality on Win32. If memory serves, Win32 natively supports this functionality (or something very much like it) in some form or another, but I'll have to go sifting through documentation to make sure. ;; -*- author-initials: nrr -*- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
