I wrote something called SSHProxy that is very very old, and I think Gerph
turned that into NettleSSH. But that`s all SSHv1 which servers won`t
support these days as it`s insecure:
http://gerph.org/riscos/ramble/miniprojects-nettlessh.html#NettleSSH
Later support was added to Nettle directly, and that is more modern and
supports SSHv2.

Using Nettle`s own SSH implementation (which uses libssh2) is the way
forward these days. That`s the one Gerph has contributed to recently:
https://github.com/dpt/Nettle/
I think it should need a recompile with a newer libssh2 for newer cipher
support. There is infrastructure there to build it using his
JFPatch-as-a-service, but I`m not sure if those builds are made available
anywhere.
Either way, the build made available in PackMan (and also downloadable from
riscos.info for manual install) should be updated. I`ll take a todo to look
at that, but no promises on timeline...
