Chilkat SSH / SFTP Python Library is a library that provides two objects: A client-side SSH2 implementation for executing commands and shell sessions on Unix/Windows SSH servers, and an SFTP implementation for file transfer and remote file management over SSH.
Chilkat SSH / SFTP Python Library also provides SSH tunneling capabilities. (SSH tunneling (port forwarding) for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP is also integrated directly within the Chilkat IMAP and Email components.)
Here are some key features of "Chilkat SSH / SFTP Python Library":
SSH Features:
· Implements the SSH2 protocol.
· Remote shell over SSH.
· Execute commands over SSH channel.
· SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxy support.
· HTTP proxy support.
· Automomous SSH Tunneling in a background thread.
· SSH Tunnel (port-forwarding) in foreground thread.
· Manage multiple open channels simultaneously.
· Asynchronous operation -- start commands/shell and retrieve responses separately.
· Supports both password and public-key authentication.
· Execute multiple commands over multiple channels simultaneously.
· Initiate key re-exchange.
· Transparently handles server key re-exchanges.
· Explicit control over bi-directional channels with ability to send CLOSE and EOF.
· Request PTY for terminal emulation.
· Set environment variables.
· Send signals to remote shell or command.
· Set TTY mode.
· Supports custom channels.
· Automatic conversion of text output from remote system`s charset to Unicode-based strings.
· SSH tunneling (tunneling) for IMAP, SMTP, POP3 integrated directly in Chilkat IMAP and Email components.
· Progress monitoring and abort capability
SFTP Features:
· Upload and download files.
· Resume (restart) uploads and downloads.
· Download directory listings w/ easy access to file information.

· Supports both password and public-key authentication.
· Supports 64-bit file sizes.
· Allows for multiple files or directories to be open simultaneously.
· Create remote directories.
· Delete and rename remote files and directories.
· Get/set file last-modified, create, and last-access date/times.
· Get/set file permissions and attributes.
· Get/set file owner and group.
· Event callbacks for progress monitoring and abort.
· Resolve relative paths to absolute paths via "REALPATH".
· Copy local file attributes and date/times to remote file.
· Provides full control of whether symbolic links are resolved (i.e. followed)
SSH Key Creation/Conversion Features:
· Generate new DSA keys.
· Generate new RSA keys.
· Import/export private keys in OpenSSH format (encrypted or unencrypted).
· Import/export private keys in PuTTY format (encrypted or unencrypted).
· Import/export public keys in OpenSSH format.
· Import/export public keys in RFC 4716 format.
· Import/export keys in XML format.
· Generate fingerprint for key.
Limitations:
