    First, it would help to know if you are talking about running on a
    Unix/Linux system or a Windows system (or something else).

    It is not as simple as opening a socket. The authentication and encryption
    routines are quite involved.

    Your best approach might be to use a forwarded port. That is, have an SSH
    connection already in place, with a forwarded port that you can use in
    your application.
