If you want to get the output of the file, so just do :

ret = ssh_login (socket:soc, login:"login",
password:"password",pub:NULL,priv:NULL,passphrase:NULL);
if (ret != 0)
{
display ("Error: login failed\n");
exit (0);
}

buf = ssh_cmd (socket:soc, cmd:"cat yourfile", timeout:10);
if (!buf)
{
display ("Error: cmd failed\n");
exit (0);
}

#display file if success
display (buf);
