Yeah, sshto shamelessly uses other scripts from that same collection.
Shqstr quotes strings for handing to eval/sh/remote-ssh intact.

The simplest thing is to go to:
  http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/
and download the tarball, unpack into /opt/css. Source /opt/css/env.sh
to fix up your $PATH (it appends, so as not to preempt any of your
normal commands or libraries). Then retry.

Please let me know if you have further trouble; this stuff is _meant_ to be
usable by people who aren't me:-)
