I need to connect via TCP to a port that's behind a firewall, accessible through an SSH tunnel. I can achieve connection by opening a tunnel and hittting that port, but I want to build this tunneling in to my application.

Additionally, I want to be able to provide automatic login by use of having authorized keys on the server

This must work on the following platforms (in order of importance)

  • iOS (trickiest because I can't fork an ssh tunnel like I can on other platforms)
  • OS X
  • Linux
  • Windows

What's the easy way to do this? I don't want to spend a great deal of effort obviously since this isn't the meat of my application. But I'll reuse it so I may care enough to "do things right"
