Add Ssh/Scp Tasks

[rmboggs]

I would like to add tasks for ssh and scp commands to the nant/nantcontrib project. This would definitely be helpful during the nant release process as well.

Ant Examples:
SshExec
Scp

Possible .NET/Mono Lib references:
Ssh.net
SharpSsh

Otherwise, if there are encryption restrictions/concerns, then it may be best to use exernalprogrambase class and just call the command line programs.

Hey Ryan,

That would definitely be useful.
I think an scp task even existed at some point, but could be mistaken.

For me, it's ok to just wrap the scp/ssh commandline tools.
This of course does have its limitations (eg. you can't pass it through a filterchain while uploading files), but at least these tools are stable and "just work".

I'll review your move/copy changes today, I promise (I think :p).

Regards,
Gert

Your correct. The command line tools are time tested and reliable. Some of these .NET libs didn't seem as stable when I was looking.

The other thing to think about also is possible encryption export laws. By using existing command line tools instead of bundling libs, we probably won't need to worry about this. However, I am not a lawyer so I am not sure how accurate this statement is.
