Why do we want an SSH server in the source?

If someone wants to run an SSH server, they can download and install one as they would do on Windows.

Any SSH server developed for ReactOS would need to be written in C/C++ and be compilable by both GCC and VC++. So while the expectation is that a developer would likely need to pull a SSH library from an existing source such as OpenSSH, the server itself will almost certainly need to be written from scratch if only because there does not exist as far as I am aware of a fully open source SSH server that runs natively on Windows without hauling around the likes of cygwin. Apache Mina is written in Java and therefore would be inappropriate as a starting base for the SSH server project.

Hello everyone,

I am Anchit Jain, Computer Science undergraduate from BITS PILANI, India. 
I am interested in pursuing SSH Service project.

 

I have some experience in Socket Programming and Network Protocol development in C. Some of my work could be seen at https://github.com/anchitjain1234.

In past, I have implemented some basic network services like TFTP protocol and some minor part of FTP client. 

 

Regarding the project :- Would this project require a new SSH Server to be written from scratch or to be build upon some existing codebase like Apache Mina etc.?

 

I would request potential mentors to guide me for the same.

 

 

Thanks,

Anchit Jain
