react-native-ssh

A library that allows a React Native app to run commands over SSH.

Usage

This library provides a single method: SSH.execute. Given SSH credentials and a command, a promise is returned. This promise resolves to the command's output as an array of strings.

import SSH from 'react-native-ssh';

config = {user: 'bob', host: 'example.com', password: 'p4$$w0rd'};
command = 'ls -l ~';

SSH.execute(config, command).then(
  result => console.log(result),
  error =>  console.log('Error:', error)
);

// A successful run would output:
// ['file1.txt', 'server.py', 'script.sh']

Installation

Android

• npm install react-native-ssh --save
• react-native link react-native-ssh

iOS

• npm install react-native-ssh --save
• react-native link react-native-ssh
• Add pod 'NMSSH', '~> 2.2.5' to your Podfile and install. If you don't have a Podfile:
  • cd ios
  • pod init
  • Edit the newly created Podfile to look like this example
  • pod install
• Make the Pod headers accessible to react-native-ssh (instructions based on XCode 8.1):
  • Open ios/hooks.xcworkspace in XCode
  • Click on hooks > Libraries > RNSSH.xcodeproj in the Project Navigator
  • Click on RNSSH under Targets
  • Go to Build Settings
  • Add $(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/Pods/Headers/Public to Header Search Paths and make it recursive
