SSH/SFTP Support for Tailing Remote Files

[ivanatpr]

Not sure how feasible this is but it would be really neat to have the ability to tail files on a remote server via SSH and/or SFTP. Most log files that I'm interested in tailing live in remote unix servers.

I know there are several c# ssh clients out there so in theory possible. However to make it work I would need do be able to stream the file over the connection, If this can be done then I will do it.

However this would not be my immediate priority.

Not sure how much support SSH libraries will have for file events, but one (potentially hacky) approach is to literally run "tail -f " on the remote server and then stream the output. Perhaps even stream the output directly to a local file in a temp dir such that the main TailBlazer process can then open it just like any other local file. Just a thought.

That should in theory work and should be straight forward to implement

This will be considered in #51
