Its a server so I would have called it tinysshd or something

Like the OpenSSHd project?[0]

OpenSSH is both a client and server; "TinySSH is a minimalistic SSH server" (emphasis mine, but quote from their site)

OpenSSH is a project which ships (among other things) two popular binaries, ssh and sshd.

TinySSH is a project which ships an alternative to sshd which binary is named tinysshd.

I'm just pointing out that project names need not reflect the names of the binaries shipped by that project. Heck, the project named Apache made its name by shipping a binary called httpd.

And admittedly it would have qualified "this is only a server and doesn't come with a client" too. Ah well.

Except it's not actually a daemon, it runs as a child server process of inetd, tcpserver or (blech) systemd.

I'm looking for some kind of tiny ssh client I can squeeze into an Apple II. I'm pretty sure even dropbear is too big (I haven't actually tried yet, though so YMMV.)

Are there any other smaller SSH clients out there?

Take libssh and start swinging an axe?

Wow an Apple ][ What OS / program environment do you have?

I've got both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS on 5 1/4 floppy. I can use ADTPro and I recently got (but haven't yet installed) an Uthernet ethernet card.
