Member Function Documentation

◆ constructor()

Qore::SSH2::SSH2Client::constructor ( string  url,
softint  port = 0 
)

creates the object with the given hostname and port number

Example:
ssh2client SSH2Client("host", 4022);
Parameters
urlthe remote host to connect to - can also be a url like "ssh://user:pass@hostname:port"
portthe port number on the remote host to connect to; if the port is 0, then the port given in the url argument is used; if none is given there, then the default port is used (22)
Exceptions
SSH2CLIENT-PARAMETER-ERRORempty url passed
SSH2-ERRORsocket error sending data; timeout on socket; invalid SSH2 protocol response; server returned an error message

◆ copy()

Qore::SSH2::SSH2Client::copy ( )

throws an exception; currently SSH2Client objects cannot be copied

Exceptions
SSH2CLIENT-COPY-ERRORcopying SSH2Client objects is not currently implemented

◆ info()

hash<Ssh2ConnectionInfo> Qore::SSH2::SSH2Client::info ( )

returns a hash with information about the current connection status

Code Flags:
CONSTANT
Example:
hash<Ssh2ConnectionInfo> h = ssh2client.info();

this method is safe to call when not connected

Returns
a hash with the following keys:
  • ssh2host: (string) the host name of the remote server
  • ssh2port: (int) the port number of the remote server
  • ssh2user: (string) the user name used for the connection
  • keyfile_priv: (string) the filename of the local private key file used
  • keyfile_pub: (string) the filename of the local public key file used
  • fingerprint: (*string) The fingerprint of the public host key of the remote server as a string of hex digit pairs separated by colons (:), ex: "AC:AA:DF:3F:49:82:5A:1A:DE:C9:ED:14:00:7D:65:9E" or NOTHING if not connected
  • authenticated: (*string) a string giving the authentication mechanism used: "publickey", "password", "keyboard-interactive" or NOTHING if not connected
  • connected: (bool) tells if the connection is currently active or not
  • methods: (hash) a hash of strings giving the crytographic methods used for the connection

◆ openDirectTcpipChannel()

SSH2Channel Qore::SSH2::SSH2Client::openDirectTcpipChannel ( string  host,
softint  port,
string  source_host = "127.0.0.1",
softint  source_port = 22,
timeout  timeout = 60s 
)

Opens a port forwarding channel and returns the corresponding SSH2Channel object for the new forwarded connection.

Example:
SS2Channel chan = ssh2client.("host", 4022, NOTHING, NOTHING, 30s);
Parameters
hostthe remote host to connect to
portthe port number on the remote host to connect to
source_hostthe host name to report as the source of the connection
source_portthe port number to report as the source of the connection
timeoutan integer giving a timeout in milliseconds or a relative date/time value (ex: 15s for 15 seconds)
Exceptions
SSH2CLIENT-OPENDIRECTTCPIPCHANNEL-ERRORport number for forwarded channel as second argument cannot be zero; source port number as fourth argument cannot be zero

◆ openSessionChannel()

SSH2Channel Qore::SSH2::SSH2Client::openSessionChannel ( timeout  timeout = 60s)

Opens a login session and returns a SSH2Channel object for the session.

Example:
SSH2Channel chan = ssh2client.openSessionChannel(30s);
Parameters
timeoutan integer giving a timeout in milliseconds or a relative date/time value (ex: 15s for 15 seconds)
