Installation

I used py2app to build a self contained .app for the Mac OS X release. Just download the .dmg.gz, uncompress and mount, and drag wxSSHProxy.app to your hard drive. This is a universal binary and should run on any Mac 10.4.x. I have not tested on earlier Mac OS X releases, although I would expect 10.3.9 to work.

Linux users will need to have Python, wxPython, pexpect, and OpenSSH installed. The release consists of 2 python files. Place them in the same directory, so wxSSHProxy.py can find the SSHProxy.py script. The scripts use /usr/bin/env to find a python interpreter. I have tested with both python 2.3.4 and 2.4.3, using wxPython 2.6.3 and Pexpect 2.1.

Windows users will need to have ActiveState Python and plink.exe (from the PuTTY project) installed to run the .exe. However, the source shoud run with a Cygwin setup for those who have that, by following the Linux directions. For the ActiveState/plink environment, keep all of the files in the .zip in the same directory. The zip will expand in to a directory called wxSSHProxy, which can be renamed if desired, and put anywhere. Double click the wxSSHProxy.exe to run the proxy GUI.
