Re: [platform-vcm-dev] SSH with ext or extssh

[James_Moody@xxxxxxx]

Hi Thomas,

extssh uses the build-in SSH library. It works fine for us, but it only
supports SSH 1.0 protocol, so if you have a server that only uses the SSH
2.0 protocol, you can't use it. Also, in its current incarnation extssh
does not support RSA public key authentication.

ext uses an external ssh or rsh binary. It supports whatever protocol the
external binary supports. However you have to have RSA public key
authentication set up already, since we have no way of prompting for a
password using this method.

Hope this helps,

james

Hello,

I'm sure, this was asked before, but I could not find the answer.

I want to connect to an SSH server (OpenSSH for Windows from
www.networksimplicity.com). At the command line I have success with the
ext-method:

set CVS_RSH=SSH
cvs -d :ext:tom@localhost:F:\CVSROOT checkout test

In Eclipse the ext-method works, too. But ext in Eclipse uses my SSH-client

(ssh.exe from OpenSSH) only, not the built-in SSH-library (I've get an "...

JVM_recv ..." exception with extssh). Under what circumstances extssh could

be used?

Best regards,
Tom
