Connection method：

1. Password:

use ssh_rs::ssh;
let mut session = ssh::create_session()
    .username("ubuntu")
    .password("password")
    .connect("127.0.0.1:22")
    .unwrap();

2. Public key:

• Currently, only RSA, ED25519 keys/key files are supported.

1. Use key file path：

// pem format key path -> /xxx/xxx/id_rsa
// the content of the keyfile shall begin with
//      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- / -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
// and end with
//       -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- / -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
// simply generated by `ssh-keygen -t rsa -m PEM -b 4096`
use ssh_rs::ssh;
let mut session = ssh::create_session()
    .username("ubuntu")
    .private_key_path("./id_rsa")
    .connect("127.0.0.1:22")
    .unwrap();

2. Use key string：

// pem format key string:
//      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- / -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
// and end with
//       -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- / -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
use ssh_rs::ssh;
let mut session = ssh::create_session()
    .username("ubuntu")
    .private_key("rsa_string")
    .connect("127.0.0.1:22")
    .unwrap();

3. Use them together

• According to the implementation of OpenSSH, it will try public key first and fallback to password. So both of them can be provided.

use ssh_rs::ssh;
let mut session = ssh::create_session()
    .username("username")
    .password("password")
    .private_key_path("/path/to/rsa")
    .connect("127.0.0.1:22")
    .unwrap();

Enable global logging：

• There are two APIs to enable logs, basicly enable_log() will set the log level to INFO, and debug() will set it to Debug

• But you can implement your own logger as well.

use ssh_rs::ssh;
// this will generate some basic event logs
ssh::enable_log();
// this will generate verbose logs
ssh::debug()

Set timeout：

• Only global timeouts per r/w are currently supported.

use ssh_rs::ssh;

ssh::debug();
let _listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:7777").unwrap();

match ssh::create_session()
    .username("ubuntu")
    .password("password")
    .private_key_path("./id_rsa")
    .timeout(Some(std::time::Duration::from_secs(5)))
    .connect("127.0.0.1:7777")
{
    Err(e) => println!("Got error {}", e),
    _ => unreachable!(),
}

How to use：

• Examples can be found under examples

1. Execute a command
2. Scp files
3. Run a shell
4. Run an interactive shell
5. Connect ssh server w/o a tcp stream
6. Cofigure your own algorithm list

Algorithm support：

2. Server host key algorithms

• ssh-ed25519
