Hi,

Thanks for your kind reply... but you say that i am using libssh2 in proper way that i don't think right. Because i need to create a proper and complete terminal emulator and i resulted in simple UITextView based command/output system.

And i can't get what it PuTTY, i made some search on that but there's no proper answer for the suggestion. IF you know iPhone programming then suggest me something.

rc = libssh2_channel_request_pty( channel, "xterm"); This is my PTY function.
I don't know what to use to display terminal so it looks like real termina. See Team Viewer iPhone app, how they've created the app..! I want to create command-line emulator with all possible functionalities..!

Please gimme some idea i can make research over.

Regards.
