ssheven
|
|
-------
|
|
A minimal new SSH client for Mac OS 7/8/9.
|
|
|
|
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.

system requirements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
* CPU: Any PPC processor, or at least a 68030 (68040 strongly recommended).
|
|
* RAM: 2MB.
|
|
* Disk space: fits on a floppy.
|
|
* System 7.1 or later. Versions below 7.5 require the Thread Manager extension.
|
|
* Open Transport networking required, latest version possible highly recommended.
|

|
roadmap
|
|
-------
|
|
0.9.0
|
|
* basic scp file transfer
|
|
* general code cleanup
|
|
|
|
1.0.0 (first "real" release)
|
|
* configurable terminal string
|
|
* configurable/auto-choosing SSH buffer size (improves feel for faster machines)
|
|
* nicer error presentation for more failure cases
|
|
* add `known_hosts` reset option
|
|
* read Apple HIG and clean up UI/UX
|
|
* all license info in an about box type thing
|
|
* finish and upload papercraft box, floppy sticker artwork, icon/logo svg
|
|
|
|
known problems
|
|
* 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
|
|
|
|
possible upcoming features
|
|
* more complete color support (currently uses the default Mac 8 color palette)
|
|
* keyboard-interactive authentication
|

|
build
|
|
-----
|
|
Uses Retro68 and cmake.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
To build a fat binary, edit `build-ssheven.bash` with the path to your Retro68 build, and then run it.
