Readme

This package provides FFI bindings for SSH2 client library named libssh2.

As of version 0.2 all blocking is handled in Haskell code rather than in C code. This means that all calls are now interruptable using Haskell asynchronous exceptions; for instance, it is now possible to use System.Timeout in combination with "libssh2".

Note on usage on Windows: On Windows you MUST compile your executable with -threaded or libssh2 will NOT work. We have tested libssh2 on Windows using http://mingw.org/, with http://www.openssl.org/ and http://libssh2.org/ compiled from source (be sure to pass the shared option to the configure script for openssl to enable the shared libraries).
