LabVIEW needs native SSH and SFTP connection support.
In the past, LabVIEW users have had to rely on third party applications like PuTTY or ExtraPuTTY to do very basic Linux/Unix secure shell operations. Not only does it add an extra layer of complexity to the code but it is also quite inflexible. Increasing interoperability requirements of present day (and future) computer systems rely heavily on terminal services with a vast percentage of those being SSH based. In the past 5 years I have needed to use SSH type connections more and more inside of LabVIEW, I do not see it ending anytime soon and I know I am not alone.
An SSH connection could be managed in much the same manor as the current VISA and TelNet connection are managed. An example of some of the tools could look something like the below image and could come standard or part of the Internet Connectivity Toolkit.
