reading unix files from NT using SSH2

[James Strater]

I have a python script running on an NT box.  I need to connect to a  unix
box using SSH2 and read some files sitting on that box.  Can anyone point me
in the right direction on how to go about doing this?   The script needs to
stay on the NT box so that it can do some things with MS Excel using COM.  

Thanks,

James
