Licence details in a single text file please

2016-10-17T13:26:18.165000Z

Please consider adding a LICENCE.txt OR COPYING.txt file to both source and binary distributions - having only comments in the source files is not best practice as some of us need to get a legal review before making any use of open source components and being able to point the lawyers at a single file simplifies matters enournously.

Timeout possibility forSshShell.Expect

2013-04-17T12:14:02Z

I would find it very useful and aligned with common patterns with similar things that Expect(..) function would have timeout parameter (timeout in milliseconds).
"Whenever you are expecting something that you cannot be 100% sure of, it might happen that it never happens what you are waiting for".

I think there is a generic need for such, but I can list two specific cases additionally:
- when executing commands after one another and some of those are optional,
you cannot know for each command if you should first expect for a command prompt or not
in a common command-handling method which would take any command string as a parameter
and return the output of the command as a string.
Waiting for command prompt for some time (timeout) would help the situation.

- When executing a command to configure the IP-interface of the device, you will loose
connection with the device in the middle of command. In that case if you are waiting
for some string and have no timeout-failure option, you are in troubles (or have to use dirty methods).

Thanks for considering!

Streams local param on SCP/SFTP GET/PUT

2010-10-12T12:44:20Z

It would be nice to be able to pass in a stream instead of a filepath string, for the 'local' parameter, to the get/put methods on the scp/sftp classes. I downloaded and made this change in the source. It seems to be pretty stable.

SFTP and SCP

2007-10-17T14:12:24Z

Could you please make the sftp and scp code thread-safe? I have to sftp one file at a time and this hinders performance
