Hello!
Yes it does. But only if you're using the SSH portion.

These guys don’t even have Kermit, what do you think the probability of there 
being an SSH server available is? :)

True.  Implementing SSH on, say, a PDP8 would certainly be a challenge.  Never 
mind a 1620.

Actually we had this idea with Steve Davidson where we’d build a 
crypto-coprocessor in Python on the host OS and somehow hook it up (via say a 
serial port) to a PDP-11 and have the host OS do all the RSA, AES, SHA, MD5 
operations that way and the SSH server on the PDP-11 would just be a shim to 
implement the SSH protocol.

It’s quite easily doable in Python since it comes with all the crypto libraries 
pre-built, Johnny, you interested in something like this for adding SSH to your 
RSX TCP/IP stack?

No. That would be pretty much meaningless, as there are options and stuff done in SSH which affects what should happen on the system as well. You cannot move ssh outside, and still have the functionality in place.

How do you think something like sftp works?
