sshproxy

If you're tired of remembering passwords and keys for remote site connections, sshproxy can be the solution you've been looking for. This software is a pure Python implementation of an SSH proxy, and it allows users to connect to remote sites with just a few commands, without having to remember any passwords or keys.

To get started with sshproxy, you can use the pssh shell wrapper to connect to remote sites and execute commands. With pssh, you can easily execute remote commands, as well as transfer files using scp. The software also comes with a few shell wrapper plugins, such as the email notifier and session recorder.

A normal ssh session may look like this: me@myhost $ ssh -tp 2242 me@proxy remote-site root@remote-site # ... doing some administration commands ... root@remote-site # exit me@myhost $

But with pssh, it's much simpler: me@myhost $ pssh remote-site root@remote-site # ... doing some administration commands ... root@remote-site # exit me@myhost $

With the latest 0.6.0 Beta 2 release, sshproxy has fixed some minor bugs and made some security fixes for paramiko < 1.7.2. Additionally, passwords can now contain non-ASCII characters.
