A minimal new SSH client for Mac OS 7/8/9.
2020-06-08 17:53:38 +01:00
Project status: as of 0.8.0 ([see github releases](https://github.com/cy384/ssheven/releases)), fairly secure and usable, but without a polished UX or all planned features. Versions prior to 1.0.0 should be considered alpha/beta quality.

known problems
2021-07-26 01:18:32 +01:00
* drawing the screen is somewhat slow
* input latency feels high because redrawing the screen is slow (along with all the encryption, which is also slow)
* receiving a large amount of data may break the channel or cause lockups (e.g. `cat /dev/zero`)
* non-US keyboard input may or may not have issues
2020-12-28 02:49:57 +00:00
possible upcoming features
* more complete color support (currently uses the default Mac 8 color palette)
2020-10-04 17:21:39 +01:00
* keyboard-interactive authentication

build
-----
Uses Retro68 and cmake.
2020-08-22 22:39:03 +01:00
Requires mbedtls, libssh2, and libvterm, see my (cy384's) ports of those libraries for details. Note that you need to build/install each for both platforms (m68k and PPC).
2020-06-08 17:53:38 +01:00
2021-01-09 23:17:24 +00:00
To build a fat binary, edit `build-ssheven.bash` with the path to your Retro68 build, and then run it.
