6 ct_ssh - SSH/SFTP client module.
7
9 SSH/SFTP client module.
10 This module uses application SSH, which provides detailed information
12 about, for example, functions, types, and options.
13 Argument Server in the SFTP functions is only to be used for SFTP ses‐
15 sions that have been started on existing SSH connections (that is, when
16 the original connection type is ssh). Whenever the connection type is
17 sftp, use the SSH connection reference only.
18 The following options are valid for specifying an SSH/SFTP connection
20 (that is, can be used as configuration elements):
21 [{ConnType, Addr},
23 {port, Port},
24 {user, UserName}
25 {password, Pwd}
26 {user_dir, String}
27 {public_key_alg, PubKeyAlg}
28 {connect_timeout, Timeout}
29 {key_cb, KeyCallbackMod}]
30 ConnType = ssh | sftp.
32 For other types, see ssh(3).
34 All time-out parameters in ct_ssh functions are values in milliseconds.
36
38 connection() = handle() | target_name()
39 For target_name, see module ct.
41 handle() = handle()
43 Handle for a specific SSH/SFTP connection, see module ct.
45 ssh_sftp_return() = term()
47 Return value from an ssh_sftp function.

150 connect(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
152 Equivalent to ct_ssh:connect(KeyOrName, host, []).
154 connect(KeyOrName, ConnType) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
156 Equivalent to ct_ssh:connect(KeyOrName, ConnType, []).
158 connect(KeyOrName, ConnType, ExtraOpts) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Rea‐
160 son}
161 Types:
163 KeyOrName = Key | Name
165 Key = atom()
166 Name = target_name()
167 ConnType = ssh | sftp | host
168 ExtraOpts = ssh_connect_options()
169 Handle = handle()
170 Reason = term()
171 Opens an SSH or SFTP connection using the information associated
173 with KeyOrName.
174 If Name (an alias name for Key) is used to identify the connec‐
176 tion, this name can be used as connection reference for subse‐
177 quent calls. Only one open connection at a time associated with
178 Name is possible. If Key is used, the returned handle must be
179 used for subsequent calls (multiple connections can be opened
180 using the configuration data specified by Key).
181 For information on how to create a new Name, see ct:require/2.
183 For target_name, see module ct.
185 ConnType always overrides the type specified in the address tu‐
187 ple in the configuration data (and in ExtraOpts). So it is pos‐
188 sible to, for example, open an SFTP connection directly using
189 data originally specifying an SSH connection. Value host means
190 that the connection type specified by the host option (either in
191 the configuration data or in ExtraOpts) is used.
192 ExtraOpts (optional) are extra SSH options to be added to the
194 configuration data for KeyOrName. The extra options override any
195 existing options with the same key in the configuration data.
196 For details on valid SSH options, see application SSH.

578 Data = list()
579 Reason = term()
580 Receives expected data from server on the specified session
582 channel.
583 If End == close, data is returned to the caller when the channel
585 is closed by the server. If a time-out occurs before this hap‐
586 pens, the function returns {timeout,Data} (where Data is the
587 data received so far).
588 If End == timeout, a time-out is expected and {ok,Data} is re‐
590 turned both in the case of a time-out and when the channel is
591 closed.
592 If End is a fun, this fun is called with one argument, the data
594 value in a received ssh_cm message (see ssh_connection(3). The
595 fun is to return either true to end the receiving operation (and
596 have the so far collected data returned) or false to wait for
597 more data from the server. Even if a fun is supplied, the func‐
598 tion returns immediately if the server closes the channel).
