Re: [Synalist] ssh-client

[JLIST <jl...@gm...>]

Hello Wolfram,

It didn't work for me at the beginning. Then I added open_ssl and
open_ssl_lib to the uses clause, and copy the two openssl DLLs to the
same directory, it worked.

tlntsend doesn't have any terminal emulation support (xterm, VT100,
various escape sequences.) I think that's the big missing piece in
order to have something like putty. There doesn't seem to be any
open source packages available for Delphi or FPC...

I'm not sure what level of platform compatibility can be achieved
when GUI is involved because a lot of the dialog boxes (open file,
font selection, etc.) will be native. Even the fonts will be native.
Linux provides good terminal apps with tab support and I'm happy
with them. On Windows, I only find Poderosa, which has tabs and
works great. The problem is that it's a .NET app and it looks like
its development has stopped.
