For a pure Obj-C implementation, I would think you should be able to
launch ssh via an NSTask and attach a couple of NSPipes to it for
stdin and stdout. That said, Cocoa isn't that great at text parsing
(in my opinion), so if I were doing it I'd stick with normal posix
code for launching and manipulating the pipes (e.g. popen()).

Hello All -
I was wondering if there is such a thing as a framework or some
library that would make it easy for someone to use ssh to
communicate with a piece of network equipment. I've written lots
of socket() code that communicates directly to telnet daemons and
to smtp daemons -- pretty simple stuff -- just send and receive --
kinda like what Expect would do in an Expect script.
However, I now want to communicate with a device that does not have
telnet enabled and only supports ssh. The hard part is getting the
ssh connection established. I haven't tried this but I'm sure it
involves RSA keys etc. Can anyone give any advice on how to do
this without having to drop to a shell???
Thanks
