Swish What is Swish? Swish is a plugin for Microsoft Windows Explorer that integrates access to remote files via SSH/SFTP. Status: Swish is 'alpha' status which means it is missing some features and some bits are still a little rough around the edges. We're getting there, though and 'beta' status is not far away. As well as management tasks such as renaming and deleting files on the remote server users can drag and drop the contents of files and folders from the remote server to the local filesystem and double-click to open files in the appropriate program. Supported Operating Systems: Windows 8 (occasionally test) Windows 7 (most tested) Windows Vista (regularly tested) Windows XP (regularly tested) Windows 2000 (regularly tested) Windows 98/Me support is on hold for the time being - as of version 0.3.1.0 the backend DLL seems to have problem (maybe related to MSVCRT versions). Unfortunately, Windows 95 and NT 4 are not immediately supported. This is because the C runtime used when compiling with Visual Studio 2005 is no longer compatible with their API. There are a few ways you can work round this if you wish: - Compile Swish using Visual Studio 2005. You may have to fix the code to allow this; I've never tried it. - Make *all* the projects statically link to the runtime library (/MT). In addition you will have to use a version of OpenSSL similarly linked so you will have to compile your own. The instructions that come with OpenSSL make it clear how to do this. Again, I haven't tried this myself so it might not work. Requirements to run: Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater (may work with 5.01 but required SHRegGetPath() function seems broken). For Windows 9x, the Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU, aka Unicows) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=73BA7BD7-ED06- 4F0D-80A4-2A7EEAEE17E2&displaylang=en. Requirements to build: The easiest way to set everything up is to run the prereqs.bat script from the build/ directory. It will fetch all the dependencies except Visual Studio, the Windows SDK, Boost and Wix. These you must install yourself from the links below. Visual C++ 2005 Express edition is unlikely to work but feel free to try. If building on Windows Vista or later you will need two updates: - VS 2005 SP1: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb265237 - VS 2005 SP1: Update for Windows Vista http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=6366078 A recent version of the Windows SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb980924.aspx) The latest version requires an hotfix to Visual Studio 2005: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=18623 Comet A modern C++ template library for COM. https://github.com/alamaison/comet. WTL 8 which can be obtained from Microsoft or through SourceForge Microsoft Permissive Licence: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ details.aspx?familyid=E5BA5BA4-6E6B-462A-B24C-61115E846F0C Common Public Licence: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/. Boost You can get an installer from BoostPro Computing: http://www.boostpro.com/products/free. However, for a 64-bit build of Swish you will have to build Boost yourself from source. The build/makeboost.bat script can help with this. For more information see http://www.boost.org. Currently Boost 1.45 is the tested version. Boost.Locale Candidate boost library handling internationalisation. http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/boost_locale/html/index.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcms/files/boost_locale Wix 3 with Votive Not required to build Swish itself but needed if you want to build the installer. http://wix.sourceforge.net/ For the Provider backend: - libssh2 - OpenSSL - zlib The directories to put the sourcecode for these dependencies in should already exist in the thirdparty/ directory. libssh2 can be obtained from http://www.libssh2.org. Swish usually requires the latest snapshot. You can get OpenSSL from http://www.openssl.org and compile it yourself but a much easier option is to download the Swish pre-packaged binary with just the stuff needed for Swish: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/swish/openssl-0.9.8g-swish.zip?download. zlib binaries are available at http://www.zlib.net/. Requirements for testing: Some old unit tests (not enabled by default) require CppUnit. The others just use Boost.Test. The tests in projects ending with `-network` need a remote host available to connect to over SSH. Swish assumes this is unix-based and that the test user account has a home directory named /home/username. Environment variables: CPPUNITDIR: The location of the CppUnit files. TEST_HOST_NAME: The name of the remote testing host. TEST_USER_NAME: The user name of the SSH account on the remote host. TEST_HOST_PORT: The port on the remote host that SSH is listening on (optional - defaults to 22 if not set). TEST_PASSWORD: The password to use to connect to the remote host if required. If you are going to run the tests I **STRONGLY** recommend using a separate user account for them as they create and delete files and, being tests, have the potential to invoke disastrous code. Protect yourself from them! OpenSSL: This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/) This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com) Building on Vista and later: When building on Windows Vista, make sure you are running Visual Studio as an Administrator. Otherwise it can't register the components and later components that depend on earlier ones will fail to build. Architecture: The architecture of Swish is divided into a back-end and a front-end. The former deals with the SFTP connection to remote hosts while the latter is concerned with displaying the results to the user and handling interaction. The current Swish backend is based on libssh2 (http://www.libssh2.org). While the eventual aim is to offer a choice of back-end implementations with different capabilities, this is currently the only one.
