SSH2-Promise

!!!THIS IS JUST A FORK WITH SSH2 DEPENDENCY UPDATED!!!

ssh2-promise is a powerful promise wrapper around ssh2 client. It supports all the ssh2 client operation such as connection hopping, exec, spawn, shell, sftp, open tunnel, open socks connection etc... in promisify and async-await way. It helps in caching the sshconnection, to reduce time, during connection hopping. It have reconnect logic, so that, once disconnected, it can retry the sshconnection, automatically.
It has promise wrapper around sftp operations too. This module is written in Typescript. It can be used in Javascript or in Typescript with full type support.

Installation

//(Require Node v10.16.0 or newer)
npm install ssh2-promise;

//for older version (Supports for any version of Node)
npm install [email protected]

import TunnelConfig from 'ssh2-promise/lib/tunnelConfig';
import SSHConstants from 'ssh2-promise/lib/sshConstants';

Connect to SSH Server

Configuration passed to SSH2Promise is aligned to ssh2 library. For debugging, pass a debug function in configuration, similary how we do for SSH2

// The config passed to the Client constructor should match the config required by ssh2.
// Extra identity option is provided to directly pass the path of private key file
var sshconfig = {
  host: '192.168.1.2',
  username: 'ubuntu',
  identity: '/here/is/my/key'
}

var ssh = new SSH2Promise(sshconfig);

//Promise
ssh.connect().then(() => {
  console.log("Connection established") 
});


//Async Await
(async function(){
    await ssh.connect();
    console.log("Connection established");
})();

//Close the ssh connection 
//very important otherwise event leaks can happen
ssh.close(); 

Connect to SSH Server via hopping

//SSH server detail used for hopping
var sshconfig1 = {
  host: '192.168.1.2',

}

//SSH server detail to be connected
var sshconfig2 = {
  host: '192.168.1.3',
  username: 'ubuntu',
  password: 'mysecret2'
}

//It will establish connection to sshconfig2 via sshconfig1
//by default it will cache connection, 
//to disable caching, pass second parameter as true
//new SSH2Promise([sshconfig1, sshconfig2], true)
var ssh = new SSH2Promise([sshconfig1, sshconfig2]);

//Promise

SFTP

It supports all the sftp client operations, in promisify way. For detailed explanation of all the operation, please visit sftp. It has few extra methods getStat, setStat, changeTimestamp, readFileData, writeFileData, changeMode, changeOwner.

Methods

• (constructor)(< object > ssh2) - Creates and returns a new SFTP instance, which can perform all sftp client operation such readdir, mkdir etc... in promisify way.

• fastGet(< string >remotePath, < string >localPath[, < object >options]) - (Promise) - Downloads a file at remotePath to localPath using parallel reads for faster throughput. options can have the following properties:

  • concurrency - integer - Number of concurrent reads Default: 64

  • chunkSize - integer - Size of each read in bytes Default: 32768

  • step - function(< integer >total_transferred, < integer >chunk, < integer >total) - Called every time a part of a file was transferred

• fastPut(< string >localPath, < string >remotePath[, < object >options]) - (Promise) - Uploads a file from localPath to remotePath using parallel reads for faster throughput. options can have the following properties:

  • concurrency - integer - Number of concurrent reads Default: 64

  • chunkSize - integer - Size of each read in bytes Default: 32768

  • step - function(< integer >total_transferred, < integer >chunk, < integer >total) - Called every time a part of a file was transferred

  • mode - mixed - Integer or string representing the file mode to set for the uploaded file.

• createReadStream(< string >path[, < object >options]) - (Promise) - if resolved successfully, returns a new readable stream for path. options has the following defaults:

  { flags: 'r',
    encoding: null,
    handle: null,
    mode: 0o666,
    autoClose: true
  }

  options can include start and end values to read a range of bytes from the file instead of the entire file. Both start and end are inclusive and start at 0. The encoding can be 'utf8', 'ascii', or 'base64'.

  If autoClose is false, then the file handle won't be closed, even if there's an error. It is your responsiblity to close it and make sure there's no file handle leak. If autoClose is set to true (default behavior), on error or end the file handle will be closed automatically.

  An example to read the last 10 bytes of a file which is 100 bytes long:

  sftp.createReadStream('sample.txt', {start: 90, end: 99});

• createWriteStream(< string >path[, < object >options]) - (Promise) - if resolved successfully, returns a new writable stream for path. options has the following defaults:

  {
    flags: 'w',
    encoding: null,
    mode: 0o666,
    autoClose: true
  }

  options may also include a start option to allow writing data at some position past the beginning of the file. Modifying a file rather than replacing it may require a flags mode of 'r+' rather than the default mode 'w'.

  If 'autoClose' is set to false and you pipe to this stream, this stream will not automatically close after there is no more data upstream -- allowing future pipes and/or manual writes.

• open(< string >filename, < string >flags, [< mixed >attrs_mode]) - (Promise) - Opens a file filename with flags with optional ATTRS object or file mode attrs_mode. flags is any of the flags supported by fs.open (except sync flag). If promise resolved successfully, then return < Buffer >handle, otherwise < Error >err.

• setStat(< string >filename, < ATTRS >attributes) - (Promise) - Sets the attributes defined in attributes for the resource associated with file. If promise is rejected, then return < Error >err.

• changeTimestamp(< string >filename, < mixed >atime, < mixed >mtime) - (Promise) - Sets the access time and modified time for the resource associated with file. atime and mtime can be Date instances or UNIX timestamps. If promise is rejected, then return < Error >err.

• changeOwner(< string >filename, < integer >uid, < integer >gid) - (Promise) - Sets the owner for the resource associated with file. If promise is rejected, then return < Error >err.

• changeMode(< string >filename, < mixed >mode) - (Promise) - Sets the mode for the resource associated with file. mode can be an integer or a string containing an octal number. If promise is rejected, then return < Error >err.

If promise resolved successfully, then return < mixed >list, otherwise < Error >err. list is an Array of { filename: 'foo', longname: '....', attrs: {...} } style objects (attrs is of type ATTR). If location is a directory handle, this function may need to be called multiple times until list is boolean false, which indicates that no more directory entries are available for that directory handle.
