I need SSH / SCP capability for LiveCode.
Anyone know how to use this (either the old external or by any other means)?
I do not thing TSNet will help in this case.
As Charles noted, tsNet supports FTPS, which tunnels FTP over SSH.
Personally, I find using the built-in shell function handy for shell
calls like those.
If you set up shared SSH keys with the server (and who doesn't these
days?) it becomes super-easy because you no longer need to write for the
"expect" package to emulate login, which also means you don't have your
password hard-coded in your script.
Lately I've been making good use of modding the sudoers file to allow
certain local processes to handle automation tasks on the remote
machine. First I create a user for the process that will log in, and
set it up in sudoers to be able to run only the command(s) I need that
account to perform. This helps minimize risk by granting only the
privileges needed to get the task done. And if the task is light
enough, I can even use a non-privileged account for that.
