Re: Implement NX client with libssh

[Pierre André Saulais <pasaulais@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I agree that it's great to have a library like libssh to use it in new
and interesting ways :)

For example, I'm working on an interactive file-transfer app (not unlike
file transfers in IM apps) that will use SSH's transport layer to have
secure transfers. I really like the idea of being able to reuse
something that works and to integrate it well with the system (like
using agents and existing keys in ~/.ssh).
