Answer 1

I used SharpSsh lib to make an asynchronous directory sync program between linux and windows boxes (i choosed sftp for secure file tranfer). Remained unchanged for years doesn't mean it is unsecure.

it is really easy to use:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Tamir.SharpSsh;

namespace sftpex
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                SshExec exec = new SshExec(ipAddress, username, password);
                Console.Write("Connecting...");
                exec.Connect();
                Console.WriteLine("OK");
                if (exec.Connected)
                    Console.WriteLine(exec.Cipher);

                while (true)
                {
                    Console.Write("Enter a command to execute ['Enter' to cancel]: ");
                    string command = Console.ReadLine();
                    if (command == "") break;
                    string output = exec.RunCommand(command);
                    string[] m = output.Split('\n');
                    for(int i=0; i
