=head1 NAME
Net::SSH2 - Support for the SSH 2 protocol via libssh2.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSH2;
my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();
$ssh2->connect('example.com') or die;
if ($ssh2->auth_keyboard('fizban')) {
my $chan = $ssh2->channel();
$chan->exec('program');
my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp();
my $fh = $sftp->open('/etc/passwd') or die;
print $_ while <$fh>;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Net::SSH2> is a perl interface to the libssh2 (L<http://www.libssh2.org>)
library. It supports the SSH2 protocol (there is no support for SSH1)
with all of the key exchanges, ciphers, and compression of libssh2.
Unless otherwise indicated, methods return a true value on success and
false on failure; use the error method to get extended error information.
The typical order is to create the SSH2 object, set up the connection methods
you want to use, call connect, authenticate with one of the C<auth> methods,
then create channels on the connection to perform commands.
=head2 new
Create new SSH2 object.
=head2 banner ( text )
Set the SSH2 banner text sent to the remote host (prepends required "SSH-2.0-").
=head2 version
In scalar context, returns libssh2 version/patch e.g. 0.18 or "0.18.0-20071110".
In list context, returns that version plus the numeric version (major, minor,
and patch, each encoded as 8 bits, e.g. 0x001200 for version 0.18) and the
default banner text (e.g. "SSH-2.0-libssh2_0.18.0-20071110").
=head2 error
Returns the last error code; returns false if no error. In list context,
returns (code, error name, error string).
=head2 method ( type [, values... ] )
Sets or returns a method preference; for get, pass in the type only; to set,
pass in either a list of values or a comma-separated string. Values can only
be queried after the session is connected.
The following methods can be set or queried:
=over 4
=item KEX
Key exchange method names. Supported values:
=over 4
=item diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

3526).
=item diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
Diffie-Hellman key exchange with SHA-1 as hash, using a safe-prime/generator
pair (chosen by server) of arbitrary strength (specified by client) (see IETF
draft secsh-dh-group-exchange).

=back
=item MAC_SC

L<MAC_SC> for supported algorithms.
=item COMP_CS
Compression methods from client to server. Supported values:
=over 4
=item zlib
The "zlib" compression method as described in RFC 1950 and RFC 1951.
=item none
No compression
=back
=item COMP_SC
Compression methods from server to client. See L<COMP_CS> for supported
compression methods.
=back
=head2 connect ( [handle | host [, port]] )
Accepts a handle over which to conduct the SSH 2 protocol. The handle may be:
=over 4
=item an C<IO::*> object
=item a glob reference
=item an integer file descriptor
=item a host name and port
=back
=head2 disconnect ( [description [, reason [, language]]] )
Send a clean disconnect message to the remote server. Default values are empty
strings for description and language, and C<SSH_DISCONNECT_BY_APPLICATION> for
the reason.
=head2 hostkey ( hash type )
Returns a hash of the host key; note that the key is raw data and may contain
nulls or control characters. The type may be:
=over 4
=item MD5 (16 bytes)
=item SHA1 (20 bytes)
=back
=head2 auth_list ( [username] )
Get a list (or comma-separated string in scalar context) of authentication
methods supported by the server; or returns C<undef>. If C<undef> is returned
and L<auth_ok> is true, the server accepted an unauthenticated session for the
given username.
=head2 auth_ok
Returns true iff the session is authenticated.
=head2 auth_password ( username [, password [, callback ]] )
Authenticate using a password (PasswordAuthentication must be enabled in
sshd_config or equivalent for this to work.)
If the password has expired, if a callback code reference was given, it's
called as C<callback($self, $username)> and should return a password. If
no callback is provided, LIBSSH2_ERROR_PASSWORD_EXPIRED is returned.
=head2 auth_publickey ( username, public key, private key [, password ] )
Note that public key and private key are names of files containing the keys!
Authenticate using keys and an optional password.
=head2 auth_hostbased ( username, public key, private key, hostname,
[, local username [, password ]] )
Host-based authentication using an optional password. The local username
defaults to be the same as the remote username.
=head2 auth_keyboard ( username, password | callback )
Authenticate using "keyboard-interactive". Takes either a password, or a
callback code reference which is invoked as C<callback-E<gt>(self, username,
name, instruction, prompt...)> (where each prompt is a hash with C<text> and
C<echo> keys, signifying the prompt text and whether the user input should be
echoed, respectively) which should return an array of responses.
If only a username is provided, the default callback will handle standard
interactive responses; L<Term::ReadKey> is required.
=head2 auth ( ... )
This is a general, prioritizing authentication mechanism that can use any
of the previous methods. You provide it some parameters and (optionally)
a ranked list of methods you want considered (defaults to all). It will
remove any unsupported methods or methods for which it doesn't have parameters
(e.g. if you don't give it a public key, it can't use publickey or hostkey),
and try the rest, returning whichever one succeeded or a false value if they
all failed. If a parameter is passed with an undef value, a default value
will be supplied if possible. The parameters are:
=over 4
=item rank
An optional ranked list of methods to try. The names should be the names of
the L<Net::SSH2> C<auth> methods, e.g. 'keyboard' or 'publickey', with the
addition of 'keyboard-auto' for automated 'keyboard-interactive'.
=item username
=item password
=item publickey
=item privatekey
As in the methods, publickey and privatekey are filenames.
=item hostname
=item local_username
=item interact
If this is set to a true value, interactive methods will be considered.
=item cb_keyboard
L<auth_keyboard> callback.
=item cb_password
L<auth_password> callback.
=back
=head2 channel ( [type, [window size, [packet size]]] )
Creates and returns a new channel object. The default type is "session".
See L<Net::SSH2::Channel>.
=head2 tcpip ( host, port [, shost, sport ] )
Creates a TCP connection from the remote host to the given host:port, returning
a new channel. Binds to shost:sport (default 127.0.0.1:22).
=head2 listen ( port [, host [, bound port [, queue size ]]] )
Sets up a TCP listening port on the remote host. Host defaults to 0.0.0.0;
if bound port is provided, it should be a scalar reference in which the bound
port is returned. Queue size specifies the maximum number of queued connections
allowed before the server refuses new connections.
Returns a new Net::SSH2::Listener object.
=head2 scp_get ( remote [, local ] )
Retrieve a file with scp; local path defaults to basename of remote. C<local>
may be an IO object (e.g. IO::File, IO::Scalar).
=head2 scp_put ( local [, remote ] )
Send a file with scp; remote path defaults to same as local. C<local> may be
an IO object instead of a filename (but it must have a valid stat method).
=head2 sftp
Return SecureFTP interface object (see L<Net::SSH2::SFTP>).
=head2 public_key
Return public key interface object (see L<Net::SSH2::PublicKey>).
=head2 poll ( timeout, arrayref of hashes )
Pass in a timeout in milliseconds and an arrayref of hashes with the following
keys:
=over 4
=item handle
May be a L<Net::SSH2::Channel> or L<Net::SSH2::Listener> object, integer file
descriptor, or perl file handle.
=item events
Requested events. Combination of LIBSSH2_POLLFD_* constants (with the POLL
prefix stripped if present), or an arrayref of the names ('in', 'hup' etc.).
=item revents
Returned events. Returns a hash with the (lowercased) names of the received
events ('in', 'hup', etc.) as keys with true values, and a C<value> key with
the integer value.
=back
Returns undef on error, or the number of active objects.
=head2 debug ( state )
Class method (affects all Net::SSH2 objects). Pass 1 to enable, 0 to disable.
Debug output is sent to stderr via C<warn>.
=head2 blocking ( flag )
Enable or disable blocking. Note that if blocking is disabled, methods that
create channels may fail, e.g. C<channel>, C<SFTP>, C<scp_*>.
