why would anyone implement a ssh server instead of using a proper server and setting up socks on it? that’s some serious yak shaving.
anyone have the history on this? i bet there’s an awesome blog post read somewhere.

Actually the ssh/sftp server constructs are very useful libraries. One of the use-cases we had was that we were setting up sftp servers from one of our web interfaces, dynamic server certificates, dynamic authorized hosts, dynamic authentication methods, ports etc.
Add to that some nice telemetry and logs, and you have a very amazing and configurable ssh/sftp servers for your needs.
