Secure Shell 2

Secure Shell 2

ssh2.shell:// ssh2.exec:// ssh2.tunnel:// ssh2.sftp:// ssh2.scp:// PHP 4.3.0 and up (PECL)

This wrapper is not enabled by default: In order to use the ssh2.*:// wrappers you must install the SSH2 extension available from PECL.

In addition to accepting traditional URI login details, the ssh2 wrappers will also reuse open connections by passing the connection resource in the host portion of the URL.

Example M-6. Opening a stream from an active connection

<?php
$session = ssh2_connect('example.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($session, 'username', '/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub',
                                            '/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa', 'secret');
$stream = fopen("ssh2.tunnel://$session/remote.example.com:1234", 'r');
?>
