There are several ways to use Secure Shell (SSH) in Python.

pyssh

• pyssh website -- project home page

• pyssh mailing list -- not very active (2006-03-26)

paramiko

Paramiko is a native Python implementation of SSH.

• paramiko website -- project home page

• conversation on Experts Exchange -- features a working example at the end of the page

SSH wrapper

Some tools just wrap around existing ssh/sftp implementations.

• keyphrene SSH wrapper, UNIX, Windows & MacOS

• PySCP pscp wrapper -- wraps Windows pscp, which is part of the Putty suite

Discussion

I'm investigating the use of SSH in Python.

I want something that will work in both Windows and Linux, that can operate like sftp/psftp. So, I'm thinking about paramiko, since it's pure Python.

You can use org.keyphrene. This library has been tested on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
