fsh: A tool for fast remote command execution

Name:fsh Vendor:
Version:1.2 License:GPL
Release:5 URL:http://www.lysator.liu.se/fsh/
Summary
Remote command execution via a cryptographically strong method such as lsh or ssh is often painfully slow, especially if either of the involved computers is slow. The biggest problem is that the client and the server perform a lot of complex calculations during connection establishment. fsh uses lsh or ssh to establish a secure tunnel to the remote system. This takes as long as a normal connection establishment, but once the tunnel is established, fsh can reuse it to start new sessions on the remote system almost instantaneously. You get the security of ssh and the speed of rsh. Note that fsh is going to be obsoleted by OpenSSH itself. The OpenSSH daemon has supported multiple shell channels over the same connection for a long time, and since OpenSSH 3.9, the client is starting to support it too -- See the documentation of the new ControlMaster and ControlSocket options.
