TestStand/Python best for adding SSH to LabVIEW?

Is Python in TestStand the best way to incorporate SSH into LabVIEW development?  I'm asking this because I have never used TestStand, but we often need to use SSH for our testing.  Is it worth learning TestStand for this sole purpose?  Example: Python SSH to run a command, end python script and continue with LabVIEW test sequence

PuTTY has an SSH CLI that you can use with LabVIEW system exec, if that helps.

1. There is a Python node in LabVIEW.  So no need to pull in TestStand for this.

2. What I did was use an open source .NET library, which you can find here: https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET .  I then created a LabVIEW class around that which has been used successfully on several projects.
