Hello,
After a period with not too many reports, I'm releasing FISH version 0.6.
Compared to 0.6 beta1, this contains just a few bug fixes.
FISH is a ssh client for VMS with an increasing amount of features:
- A user interface that ressembles RSH (UCX variant) a lot.
- Ciphers: IDEA, 3DES, DES, RC4, Blowfish.
- Authentication: rhosts, RSA, password. TIS authentication is
also implemented, but not at all tested.
- Host key verification through the KNOWN_HOSTS.DAT file.
- Identity file creation and update with full control on amount
of RSA bits, cipher used to encrypt the private part and so on.
- Choice of identity file to use.
- Packet compression (using zlib).
- Input and output from and to files. Binary as well as text
mode.
- Forced pty allocation.
The kit is available as ftp://ftp.lp.se/vms/fish006.zip
(full kit with binary libraries, all you need is to link) or
ftp://ftp.lp.se/vms/fish006_src.zip (source only).
Please read AAAREADME.TXT and INSTALL.TXT for installation instructions.
If you are interested in this program, please keep an eye on
http://www.free.lp.se/fish/. I intend to write a tutorial on
how to use the identity files and what to put where on Unix and
with Dave Jones' SSH server.
I'll probably add the possibility to communicate through a HTTP proxy in
the near future, using the HTTP command CONNECT. I'd need a live proxy
system somewhere that I could use to test this feature on (I do not
intend to set up a proxy myself). Is there one that someone could let me
use?
Further on, I'll work on a new I/O model in FISH, probably based around a
central message queue. This will allow me to add two important features:
port and X11 forwarding.
Thank you.
