PHP SSH2
========

[](#php-ssh2)

Wrapper class for PHP's [SSH2 extension](http://php.net/manual/en/book.ssh2.php). The base class was created by [Jamie Munro](https://www.sitepoint.com/author/jmunro/) taken from [this article](https://www.sitepoint.com/using-ssh-and-sftp-with-php/).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require lodev09/php-ssh2

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// connect
$auth = new \SSH2\Password(SFTP_USER, SFTP_PASSWORD);
$sftp = new \SSH2\SFTP(SFTP_HOST, $auth);

if ($sftp->is_connected() && $sftp->is_authenticated()) {
    // upload
    $sftp->put('/path/to/my/local/file', '/remote/file');

    // download
    $sftp->get('/remote/file', '/local/destination/file');
}
```

### SFTP

[](#sftp)

Common helper methods includes:

- `SFTP::mv` - move remote file
- `SFTP::rm` - delete remote file
- `SFTP::list` - list remote files
- `SFTP::is_dir` - check if path is a directory
- `SFTP::exists` - check if path exists

Other native methods can be called as well for example:

```
// ssh2_sftp_mkdir
$sftp->mkdir(...);
```

### SCP

[](#scp)

Just a pure wrapper of the native `ssh2_scp_xxx` functions.

```
// ssh2_scp_recv
$scp->recv(...);
```
