[](#what-is-this) Make SSH connections to other hosts and issue commands to the shell. You can also connect to one device and use that to connect to another. e.g. ssh to a linux server, use that shell to connect to a routerOS device. Then use the second device to connect to a third device (linux or routeros) and so on You can execute any command you want. There is full parity with the underlying shells Install: -------- [](#install) ``` composer require merlinthemagic/mtm-ssh ``` #### Get a remote shell on a linux server using password [](#get-a-remote-shell-on-a-linux-server-using-password) ``` $ctrlObj = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->passwordAuthentication("IpAddress", "username", "password"); ``` #### Get a remote shell on a device running mikrotik routeros using password [](#get-a-remote-shell-on-a-device-running-mikrotik-routeros-using-password) ``` $username = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->getRouterOsTool()->getFormattedUsername("username"); $ctrlObj = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->passwordAuthentication("IpAddress", $username, "password"); ``` #### Get a remote shell on a linux server using public key authentication [](#get-a-remote-shell-on-a-linux-server-using-public-key-authentication) ``` $key = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MIIEvAIBADANBgk..... ....S8dBQ== -----END PRIVATE KEY-----"; $ctrlObj = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->keyAuthentication("IpAddress", "username", $key); ``` #### Get a remote shell on a device running mikrotik routeros using public key authentication [](#get-a-remote-shell-on-a-device-running-mikrotik-routeros-using-public-key-authentication) ``` $key = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MIIEvAIBBDANBgk..... ....S8dBQ== -----END PRIVATE KEY-----"; $username = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->getRouterOsTool()->getFormattedUsername("username"); $ctrlObj = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->keyAuthentication("IpAddress", $username, $key); ``` #### Get a remote shell on a linux server using an existing shell [](#get-a-remote-shell-on-a-linux-server-using-an-existing-shell) ``` //no public key auth yet $ctrlObj2 = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->passwordAuthentication("IpAddress", "username", "password", $ctrlObj); //NOTE: Both existing shell ($ctrlObj) and built on shell ($ctrlObj2) will execute on the second host ``` #### Get a remote shell on a device running mikrotik routeros using an existing shell [](#get-a-remote-shell-on-a-device-running-mikrotik-routeros-using-an-existing-shell) ``` //no public key auth yet $username = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->getRouterOsTool()->getFormattedUsername("username"); $ctrlObj2 = \MTM\SSH\Factories::getShells()->passwordAuthentication("IpAddress", $username, "password", $ctrlObj); //NOTE: Both existing shell ($ctrlObj) and built on shell ($ctrlObj2) will execute on the second host ``` #### Start running commands: linux [](#start-running-commands-linux) ``` $data = $ctrlObj->getCmd("whoami")->exec()->get(); echo $data; //the name of the user you connected with $ctrlObj->getCmd("cd /var")->exec()->get(); $data = $ctrlObj->getCmd("ls -sho --color=none")->exec()->get(); echo $data; //directory and file listing from /var ``` #### Start running commands: routeros [](#start-running-commands-routeros) NOTE: Disable all echo logging on the device or return might get corrupted if a log message echos into the shell while running a command ``` $data = $ctrlObj->getCmd("/system resource print")->exec()->get(); echo $data; //list of system resources $data = $ctrlObj->getCmd("/interface print")->exec()->get(); echo $data; //list of interfaces ``` ### Health Score 20 — LowBetter than 13% of packages Maintenance54 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity12 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8021715?v=4)[Martin Peter Madsen](/maintainers/merlinthemagic)[@merlinthemagic](https://github.com/merlinthemagic) --- Top Contributors [![merlinthemagic](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8021715?v=4)](https://github.com/merlinthemagic "merlinthemagic (18 commits)") ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/merlinthemagic-mtm-ssh/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/merlinthemagic-mtm-ssh/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/merlinthemagic-mtm-ssh) ``` ### Alternatives [php-http/cache-plugin PSR-6 Cache plugin for HTTPlug 25025.5M80](/packages/php-http-cache-plugin)[illuminate/http The Illuminate Http package. 11937.2M6.6k](/packages/illuminate-http)[rdkafka/rdkafka A PHP extension for Kafka 2.2k20.0k1](/packages/rdkafka-rdkafka)[httpsoft/http-message Strict and fast implementation of PSR-7 and PSR-17 87930.4k113](/packages/httpsoft-http-message)[mezzio/mezzio-router Router subcomponent for Mezzio 265.3M84](/packages/mezzio-mezzio-router)[serpapi/google-search-results-php Get Google, Bing, Baidu, Ebay, Yahoo, Yandex, Home depot, Naver, Apple, Duckduckgo, Youtube search results via SerpApi.com 69122.6k](/packages/serpapi-google-search-results-php) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
