ct_ssh(3erl) Erlang Module Definition ct_ssh(3erl)
NAME
ct_ssh - SSH/SFTP client module.
DESCRIPTION
SSH/SFTP client module.
ct_ssh uses the OTP ssh application and more detailed information about e.g. functions, types and options can be found in the documentation
for this application.
The Server argument in the SFTP functions should only be used for SFTP sessions that have been started on existing SSH connections (i.e.
when the original connection type is ssh ). Whenever the connection type is sftp , use the SSH connection reference only.
The following options are valid for specifying an SSH/SFTP connection (i.e. may be used as config elements):
[{ConnType, Addr},
{port, Port},
{user, UserName}
{password, Pwd}
{user_dir, String}
{public_key_alg, PubKeyAlg}
{connect_timeout, Timeout}
{key_cb, KeyCallbackMod}]
ConnType = ssh | sftp .
Please see ssh(3erl) for other types.
All timeout parameters in ct_ssh functions are values in milliseconds.
DATA TYPES
connection() = handle() | target_name() (see module ct) :
handle() = handle() (see module ct_gen_conn) :
Handle for a specific SSH/SFTP connection.
ssh_sftp_return() = term() :
A return value from an ssh_sftp function.

connect(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
Equivalent to connect(KeyOrName, host, []) .
connect(KeyOrName, ConnType) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
Equivalent to connect(KeyOrName, ConnType, []) .
connect(KeyOrName, ConnType, ExtraOpts) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
Types KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name() (see module ct)
ConnType = ssh | sftp | host
ExtraOpts = ssh_connect_options()
Handle = handle()
Reason = term()
Open an SSH or SFTP connection using the information associated with KeyOrName .
If Name (an alias name for Key ), is used to identify the connection, this name may be used as connection reference for subsequent
calls. It's only possible to have one open connection at a time associated with Name . If Key is used, the returned handle must be
used for subsequent calls (multiple connections may be opened using the config data specified by Key ).
ConnType will always override the type specified in the address tuple in the configuration data (and in ExtraOpts ). So it is possi-
ble to for example open an sftp connection directly using data originally specifying an ssh connection. The value host means the
connection type specified by the host option (either in the configuration data or in ExtraOpts ) will be used.
ExtraOpts (optional) are extra SSH options to be added to the config data for KeyOrName . The extra options will override any exist-
ing options with the same key in the config data. For details on valid SSH options, see the documentation for the OTP ssh applica-
tion.

Timeout = integer()
Data = list()
Reason = term()
Receives expected data from server on the specified session channel.
If End == close , data is returned to the caller when the channel is closed by the server. If a timeout occurs before this happens,
the function returns {timeout,Data} (where Data is the data received so far). If End == timeout , a timeout is expected and
{ok,Data} is returned both in the case of a timeout and when the channel is closed. If End is a fun, this fun will be called with
one argument - the data value in a received ssh_cm message (see ssh_connection(3erl)). The fun should return true to end the receiv-
ing operation (and have the so far collected data returned), or false to wait for more data from the server. (Note that even if a
fun is supplied, the function returns immediately if the server closes the channel).
