BebboSSH AROS port: SSH daemon, SCP and SFTP progress on i386/x86_64

Hi everyone,

I would like to share a new status update about my AROS port of BebboSSH.

The current tree now provides working builds of both bebbosshd and bebbosshkeygen for AROS i386/32-bit and AROS x86_64/64-bit.

This port started from a very practical need, I wanted a working SSH server on AROS to make development and testing of telegram-amiga easier. telegram-amiga is also evolving, and being able to run remote commands, upload new binaries, execute repeatable tests and automate the development loop from a modern host to an AROS machine is much better than constantly relying on manual disk image/file exchange.

The i386 AROS runtime kit is currently the most mature release target. The x86_64 path has improved a lot and is now validated in hosted AROS x86_64 for daemon startup, remote commands, SCP/SFTP transfers and repeated connection tests. I would still like broader testing on different AROS setups before calling the 64-bit package universally final, but it is no longer just a “proof of life” build.

Repository:

https://github.co...bossh-aros

Stable i386 release:
https://github.co...-aros-i386

Latest hosted/x86_64 release:
https://github.co...ros-x86_64

The goal is simple, make AROS reachable from a modern OpenSSH client, with remote commands and file transfers available without relying on disk image tricks or manual VM file exchange.

If anyone is using AROS i386 or x86_64 and wants to test the current builds, feedback would be very useful, especially about daemon stability, SCP/SFTP behavior, key generation and repeated SSH

Nice work - another way to exchange data between AROS and world!

Quick question - you have two zips "hosted" and "x86_64". Why the "hosted" build? In general the same AROS binary should work both in an linux-hosted and VM/native pc environments.

Thanks, you are right.

The previous “hosted” name was only used internally for testing, not as a real public AROS target. Public builds are now named only by architecture/ABI:

  • bebbossh-aros-i386-abiv0
  • bebbossh-aros-x86_64


Old “hosted” pre-release packages were removed to avoid confusion.

Current x86_64 release:
https://github.co...ros-x86_64
