ssh2-python
============
Super fast SSH2 protocol library. ``ssh2-python`` provides Python bindings for `libssh2`_.

Installation
______________
Binary wheel packages are provided for Linux, OSX and Windows, all Python versions. Wheel packages have **no dependencies**.
``pip`` may need to be updated to be able to install binary wheel packages - ``pip install -U pip``.
.. code-block:: shell
pip install ssh2-python
For from source installation instructions, including building against system provided libssh2, `see documentation <https://ssh2-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#installation-from-source>`_.
For creating native system packages for Centos/RedHat, Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora, see `instructions in the documentation <http://ssh2-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#system-binary-packages>`_.
Who Should Use This
___________________
Developers of bespoke SSH clients.
Who Should Not Use This
_______________________
Developers looking for ready made SSH clients.
This library is not an SSH client.
Developers looking for high level easy to use clients based on this library should use `parallel-ssh <https://github.com/ParallelSSH/parallel-ssh>`_. It provides both `single <https://parallel-ssh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/native_single.html>`_ and `parallel <https://parallel-ssh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/native_parallel.html>`_ clients.
This library provides bindings to libssh2 and its API closely matches libssh2.
If the examples seem long, this is not the right library. Use `parallel-ssh <https://github.com/ParallelSSH/parallel-ssh>`_.
API Feature Set
________________
At this time all of the `libssh2`_ API has been implemented up to the libssh2 version in the repository. Please report any missing implementation.
Complete example scripts for various operations can be found in the `examples directory`_.
In addition, as ``ssh2-python`` is a thin wrapper of ``libssh2`` with Python semantics, `its code examples <https://libssh2.org/examples/>`_ can be ported straight over to Python with only minimal changes.
Library Features
----------------
The library uses `Cython`_ based native code extensions as wrappers to ``libssh2``.
Extension features:
* Thread safe - GIL is released as much as possible. Note that libssh2 does not support sharing sessions across threads
* Very low overhead
* Super fast as a consequence of the excellent C library it uses and prodigious use of native code
* Object oriented - memory freed automatically and safely as objects are garbage collected by Python
* Use Python semantics where applicable, such as context manager and iterator support for opening and reading from SFTP file handles
* Raise errors as Python exceptions
* Provide access to ``libssh2`` error code definitions
Quick Start
_____________
Both byte and unicode strings are accepted as arguments and encoded appropriately. To change default encoding, ``utf-8``, change the value of ``ssh2.utils.ENCODING``. Output is always in byte strings.
See `Complete Example`_ for an example including socket connect.
Please use either the issue tracker for reporting issues with code or the `mail group`_ for discussion and questions.
Contributions are most welcome!
Authentication Methods
-------------------------
Connect and get available authentication methods.
.. code-block:: python
from __future__ import print_function
from ssh2.session import Session
sock = <create and connect socket>
session = Session()
session.handshake(sock)
print(session.userauth_list())
Output will vary depending on SSH server configuration. For example:
.. code-block:: python
['publickey', 'password', 'keyboard-interactive']
Agent Authentication
------------------------
.. code-block:: python
session.agent_auth(user)
Command Execution
------------------------
.. code-block:: python
channel = session.open_session()
channel.execute('echo Hello')
Reading Output
---------------
.. code-block:: python
size, data = channel.read()
while(size > 0):
print(data)
size, data = channel.read()
.. code-block:: python
Hello
Exit Code
--------------
.. code-block:: python
print("Exit status: %s" % (channel.get_exit_status()))
.. code-block:: python
Exit status: 0
Public Key Authentication
----------------------------
.. code-block:: python
session.userauth_publickey_fromfile(
username, 'private_key_file')
Passphrase can be provided with the ``passphrase`` keyword param - see `API documentation <https://ssh2-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/session.html#ssh2.session.Session.userauth_publickey_fromfile>`_.
Password Authentication
----------------------------
.. code-block:: python
session.userauth_password(
username, '<my password>')
SFTP Read
-----------
.. code-block:: python
from ssh2.sftp import LIBSSH2_FXF_READ, LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_IRUSR
sftp = session.sftp_init()
with sftp.open(<remote file to read>,
LIBSSH2_FXF_READ, LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_IRUSR) as remote_fh, \
open(<local file to write>, 'wb') as local_fh:
for size, data in remote_fh:
local_fh.write(data)
Complete Example
__________________
A simple usage example looks very similar to ``libssh2`` `usage examples <https://www.libssh2.org/examples/>`_.
See `examples directory <https://github.com/ParallelSSH/ssh2-python/tree/master/examples>`_ for more complete example scripts.
As mentioned, ``ssh2-python`` is intentionally a thin wrapper over ``libssh2`` and directly maps most of its API.
Clients using this library can be much simpler to use than interfacing with the ``libssh2`` API directly.
.. code-block:: python
from __future__ import print_function
import os
import socket
from ssh2.session import Session
host = 'localhost'
user = os.getlogin()
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect((host, 22))
session = Session()
session.handshake(sock)
session.agent_auth(user)
channel = session.open_session()
channel.execute('echo me; exit 2')
size, data = channel.read()
while size > 0:
print(data)
size, data = channel.read()
channel.close()
print("Exit status: %s" % channel.get_exit_status())
:Output:
me
Exit status: 2
