Build SSH Client in C++

Hello I have over 25 years of experience with C++ programming also, I have experience with OpenSSL and SSH. Seems it's easy task to complete in few hours of working time.

Hello, I'm an experienced C++ developer with a solid understanding of network protocols and secure communication, including SSH. I’d be glad to guide you step-by-step through building an SSH client from scratch — including sockets, encryption, authentication, and command execution features. I focus on explaining core concepts as we build, so you not only get working code but also understand how it all works. Looking forward to helping you with this project! Best regards, Kyrylo

I’d be glad to assist you in both learning and building an SSH client from scratch using C++. With solid expertise in systems programming and a strong foundation in network protocols, I can guide you through the entire development journey — from understanding SSH fundamentals to implementing secure command execution. What I Will Provide: Step-by-step mentorship on SSH protocol basics, socket programming, encryption, and authentication Assistance in building a basic SSH client in C++ capable of: Connecting to SSH servers Authenticating using username/password or keys Executing basic shell commands Help with using OpenSSL or libssh/libssh2 libraries for encryption & secure communication Code reviews, debugging help, and continuous learning support Light assignments to reinforce your understanding (if desired) Why I’m a Good Fit: Strong experience in C++ and Linux-based network programming Hands-on with SSH, OpenSSL, libssh2, and sockets Patient and structured teaching approach — ideal for step-by-step learners Past experience mentoring students and junior developers

I have nearly 8 years of experience working on C and c++. Can do this, please discuss. Negotiable price

The salary is negotiable, I’m just seeking a project so that I can make a worthwhile contribution built not forfeit the purpose of the project.
