[ANN] Net::SSH 1.0.3

ruby-talk
1

Net::SSH is a pure-Ruby implementation of the SSH2 client protocol, allowing Ruby scripts to interact with remote processes via SSH.

Version 1.0.3 is a windows-specific maintenance release that (hopefully) fixes the problem with connections failing if the PuTTy pageant process is not running.

You can install it via rubygems (gem install net-ssh) or grab a tarball or zip file from http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ssh.

Documentation is available at http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org.

Jamis,

I'm excited to play with this module! But I get a weird error. I'm sure my system is missing a dependency--I installed this from the tar.bz2 file. Can you eyeball this crash and tell me what I'm missing?

thanks!

My installation process was:

tar -jxvf net-ssh-1.0.3.tar.bz2
cd net-ssh-1.0.3
sudo ruby setup.rb config
sudo ruby setup.rb install

thanks again,

Ah, if you install it manually, you'll also need to download and install needle:
