Tiny SSH PHP
============

[](#tiny-ssh-php)

Tiny SSH package that allows you to execute commands over SSH connections. It supports both password and private key authentication and is built on the [phpseclib](https://phpseclib.com/) library.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package via composer:

```
composer require sandeshjangam/tiny-ssh-php
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simple SSH command using password authentication:

```
$ssh = (new Ssh)
    ->host($ip)
    ->port(22)
    ->user($user)
    ->password($password)
    // ->privateKey($privateKey)
    // ->privateKeyPath($privateKeyPath)
    ->connect();

$response = $ssh->execute('whoami');

$response->getOutput();  // 'username'
$response->getError();   // ''
```

### Response of a command

[](#response-of-a-command)

Get the output:

```
$response->getOutput(); // It returns the `stdout`
```

Get the error if any:

```
$response->getError(); // It returns the `stderr`
```

Get the exit status:

```
$response->getExitStatus(); // 0 for success. To check if the command ran successfully
```

### Running multiple commands

[](#running-multiple-commands)

To execute multiple commands pass an array of commands:

```
$response = $ssh->execute(['whoami', 'ls -la']);
```

Or pass the commands as a string separated by `&&`:

```
$response = $ssh->execute('whoami && ls -la');
```

### Use timeout for the long running command

[](#use-timeout-for-the-long-running-command)

You can set the `timeout`. Default is 10 seconds:

```
->timeout(60) // 60 seconds
```

### Use private key as a string or file

[](#use-private-key-as-a-string-or-file)

You can use `Private Key` content:

```
->privateKey('private_key_content')
```

Or `Private Key` file path:

```
->privateKeyPath('/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa')
```

### Upload or Download files and directories

[](#upload-or-download-files-and-directories)

To upload or download files and directories, you'll need to use the SFTP class:

```
$sftp = (new Sftp)
    ->host($ip)
    ->port(22)
    ->user($user)
    ->password($password)
    // ->privateKey($privateKey)
    // ->privateKeyPath($privateKeyPath)
    ->connect();
```

To `upload` a file or directory to the remote server:

```
$sftp->upload('local/file/path', 'remote/file/path')
```

To `download` a file or directory from the remote server:

```
$sftp->download('remote/file/path', 'local/file/path')
```

### Disconnect SSH or SFTP connection

[](#disconnect-ssh-or-sftp-connection)

To disconnect the SSH connection:

```
$ssh->disconnect();
```

To disconnect the SFTP connection:

```
$sftp->disconnect();
```
