I've been meaning to bring this up. A long time ago I wasted many months trying to use libssh on Windows when I should have been using libssh2 all because of this text on www.libssh2.org: "This library is not related to, derived from, or meant to supersede libssh by Aris Adamantiadis. They are different projects using different code bases". For some reason I interpreted that as saying that libssh2 didn't do the same thing as libssh and, as libssh *did* do what I wanted, by implication libssh2 did not. Doh! I was overjoyed when I found libssh2 and saw how well it worked on Windows. I think we need just such a feature list as this and a little bit more focus on marketing what is an excellent piece of software. > Please tell me where I'm wrong and what stuff I've missed/forgotten! One major limitation of libssh at the time was that it required the GNU toolchain (Cygwin/MinGW) so I couldn't use it my Visual Studio project. I have no reason to believe this has changed.
