  <title>SSH2 Module for Python</title>

  <description>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), the SSH2 protocol does not require hierarchical

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.

​

It is written entirely in python (no C or platform-dependent code) and is

released under the GNU LGPL (lesser GPL).</description>
