Help for ssh
While PyLily supports lily clients such as clily and tlily, you'll get the most
out of it if connect directly to it using SSH. Features such as line editing,
history, and auto-completion of previous sendlists which previously required a
client are all available when connecting to PyLily over SSH, and doing so also
provies the ability to support direct input and output of Unicode characters if
you connect from a terminal which supports UTF-8 encoding, as well as rich text
and coloring on terminals which support ANSI standards for that.
In addition to automatically detecting your terminal type, connecting via SSH
will also allow PyLily to automatically determine your terminal width and it
will adjust wrapping of output accordingly.
Connecting via SSH also gives you the option to use public-key based
authentication instead of entering a password every time.
PyLily can also act as an SFTP or scp server, allowing you to transfer info and
memos for yourself and for discussions you own to and from PyLily without having
to copy/paste them into the terminal. If you have "helper" privileges, you can
also update help pages this way.
See "/help ssh public_key" for information on setting up SSH public key
authentication on PyLily.
See "/help sending" for details on PyLily's Unicode, rich text, and color
support.
