SSH client helpers in go

This ssh package contains helpers for working with ssh in go. The client.go file is a modified version of docker/machine/libmachine/ssh/client.go that only uses golang's native ssh client. It has also been improved to resize the tty as needed. The key functions are meant to be used by either client or server and will generate/store keys if not found.

Usage:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/glinton/ssh"
)

func main() {
	err := connect()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Failed to connect - %s\n", err)
	}
}

func connect() error {
	nanPass := ssh.Auth{Passwords: []string{"pass"}}
	client, err := ssh.NewNativeClient("user", "localhost", "SSH-2.0-MyCustomClient-1.0", 2222, &nanPass)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("Failed to create new client - %s", err)
	}

	err = client.Shell()
	if err != nil && err.Error() != "exit status 255" {
		return fmt.Errorf("Failed to request shell - %s", err)
	}

	return nil
}
