ct_ssh(3erl)               Erlang Module Definition               ct_ssh(3erl)

NAME
       ct_ssh - SSH/SFTP client module.

DESCRIPTION
       SSH/SFTP client module.

       This  module  uses application SSH, which provides detailed information
       about, for example, functions, types, and options.

       Argument Server in the SFTP functions is only to be used for SFTP  ses-
       sions that have been started on existing SSH connections (that is, when
       the original connection type is ssh). Whenever the connection  type  is
       sftp, use the SSH connection reference only.

       The  following  options are valid for specifying an SSH/SFTP connection
       (that is, can be used as configuration elements):

        [{ConnType, Addr},
         {port, Port},
         {user, UserName}
         {password, Pwd}
         {user_dir, String}
         {public_key_alg, PubKeyAlg}
         {connect_timeout, Timeout}
         {key_cb, KeyCallbackMod}]

       ConnType = ssh | sftp.

       For other types, see ssh(3erl).

       All time-out parameters in ct_ssh functions are values in milliseconds.

DATA TYPES
       connection() = handle() | target_name()

              For target_name, see module ct.

       handle() = handle()

              Handle for a specific SSH/SFTP connection, see module ct.

       ssh_sftp_return() = term()

              Return value from an ssh_sftp function.

              For information and other types, see ssh_sftp(3erl).

       connect(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}

              Equivalent to ct_ssh:connect(KeyOrName, host, []).

       connect(KeyOrName, ConnType) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}

              Equivalent to ct_ssh:connect(KeyOrName, ConnType, []).

       connect(KeyOrName, ConnType, ExtraOpts) -> {ok, Handle} | {error,  Rea-
       son}

              Types:

                 KeyOrName = Key | Name
                 Key = atom()
                 Name = target_name()
                 ConnType = ssh | sftp | host
                 ExtraOpts = ssh_connect_options()
                 Handle = handle()
                 Reason = term()

              Opens an SSH or SFTP connection using the information associated
              with KeyOrName.

              If Name (an alias name for Key) is used to identify the  connec-
              tion,  this  name can be used as connection reference for subse-
              quent calls. Only one open connection at a time associated  with
              Name  is  possible.  If Key is used, the returned handle must be
              used for subsequent calls (multiple connections  can  be  opened
              using the configuration data specified by Key).

              For information on how to create a new Name, see ct:require/2.

              For target_name, see module ct.

              ConnType  always overrides the type specified in the address tu-
              ple in the configuration data (and in ExtraOpts). So it is  pos-
              sible  to,  for  example, open an SFTP connection directly using
              data originally specifying an SSH connection. Value  host  means
              that the connection type specified by the host option (either in
              the configuration data or in ExtraOpts) is used.

              ExtraOpts (optional) are extra SSH options to be  added  to  the
              configuration data for KeyOrName. The extra options override any
              existing options with the same key in  the  configuration  data.
              For details on valid SSH options, see application SSH.

                 Data = list()
                 Reason = term()

              Requests  server to perform Command. A session channel is opened
              automatically for the request. Data is received from the  server
              as a result of the command.

                 Reason = term()

              Requests  server to perform Command. A previously opened session
              channel is used for the  request.  Data  is  received  from  the
              server as a result of the command.

       receive_response(SSH, ChannelId) -> {ok, Data} | {error, Reason}

              Equivalent to ct_ssh:receive_response(SSH, ChannelId, close).

       receive_response(SSH, ChannelId, End) -> {ok, Data} | {error, Reason}

              Equivalent  to  ct_ssh:receive_response(SSH, ChannelId, End, De-
              faultTimeout).

       receive_response(SSH, ChannelId, End, Timeout) -> {ok, Data}  |  {time-
       out, Data} | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 SSH = connection()
                 ChannelId = integer()
                 End = Fun | close | timeout
                 Timeout = integer()
                 Data = list()
                 Reason = term()

              Receives  expected  data  from  server  on the specified session
              channel.

              If End == close, data is returned to the caller when the channel
              is  closed  by the server. If a time-out occurs before this hap-
              pens, the function returns {timeout,Data}  (where  Data  is  the
              data received so far).

              If  End  == timeout, a time-out is expected and {ok,Data} is re-
              turned both in the case of a time-out and when  the  channel  is
              closed.

              If  End is a fun, this fun is called with one argument, the data
              value in a received ssh_cm  message  (see  ssh_connection(3erl).
              The  fun is to return either true to end the receiving operation
              (and have the so far collected data returned) or false  to  wait
              for  more  data  from the server. Even if a fun is supplied, the
              function returns immediately if the server closes the channel).
