paramiko is a module for python 2.2 (or higher) that implements the SSH2
|
|
protocol for secure (encrypted and authenticated) connections to remote
|
|
machines. unlike SSL (aka TLS), SSH2 protocol does not require heirarchical
|
|
certificates signed by a powerful central authority. you may know SSH2 as
|
|
the protocol that replaced telnet and rsh for secure access to remote shells,
|
|
but the protocol also includes the ability to open arbitrary channels to
|
|
remote services across the encrypted tunnel (this is how sftp works,
|
|
for example).
