Why are we talking about using the external application here?
Because I suggested giving it some thought in case it turns out we have no other option.
The only problem with the current implementation - is that it does use new APIs for tunneling.
We can change the implementation based on the current supplied libssh2 on most linux flavours.
i.e. libssh2 - 1.2.7 or later
I have asked Akshay to check - if we can modify the current implementation to use the older version of libssh2. (feasibility)
I've already asked him to investigate whether there is another API that may be used that he may have missed. Only supporting old versions of libssh2 is unacceptable though - we need to support current versions, and ideally older ones as well for compatibility with Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL etc.
