If you need to access a remote machine from your Matlab session (for near-real time data transfer etc...) this set of functions allows you to programmatically send a single command and obtain the return values as a cell array.
Added SFTP function that is compatible with this library. Changed to use Matlab's binary read operations. Tested and achieved over 1.2MB sustained transfer rate.
SCP functionality has been included to transfer files back locally.
Now supports public key authentication.
This requires the open-source Ganymed SSH-2 for Java that is freely available online and is now included in the zip file.
