=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 $ssh2->die_with_error;
$ssh->check_hostkey('ask') or $ssh2->die_with_error;
if ($ssh2->auth_keyboard('fizban')) {
my $chan = $ssh2->channel();
$chan->exec('program');
my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp();
my $fh = $sftp->open('/etc/passwd') or $sftp->die_with_error;
print $_ while <$fh>;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
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.
Even if the module can be compiled and linked against very old
versions of the library, nothing below 1.5.0 should really be used
(older versions were quite buggy and unreliable) and version 1.7.0 or
later is recommended.
=head2 Error handling
Unless otherwise indicated, methods return a true value on success and
C<undef> on failure; use the L</error> method to get extended error
information.
B<Important>: methods in Net::SSH2 not backed by libssh2 functions
(i.e. L</check_hostkey> or L<SCP|/scp_get> related methods) require
libssh2 1.7.0 or later in order to set the error state. That means
that after any of those methods fails, L</error> would not return the
real code but just some bogus result when an older version of the
library is used.
=head2 Typical usage
The typical usage order is as follows:
=over 4
=item 1
Create the SSH2 object calling L</new>.
=item 2
Configure the session if required. For instance, enabling compression
or picking some specific encryption methods.
=item 3
Establish the SSH connection calling the method L</connect>.
=item 4
Check the remote host public key calling L</check_hostkey>.
=item 5
Authenticate calling the required L<authentication methods|/auth>.
=item 6
Call L</channel> and related methods to create new bidirectional
communication channels over the SSH connection.
=item 7
Close the connection letting the Net::SSH2 object go out of scope or
calling L</disconnect> explicitly.
=back
=head1 CONSTANTS
All the constants defined in libssh2 can be imported from
Net::SSH2.
For instance:
use Net::SSH2 qw(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_MERGE
LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_FLUSH_ALL
LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ASK);
Though note that most methods accept the uncommon part of the
constant name as a string. For instance the following two method calls
are equivalent:
$channel->ext_data(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_MERGE);
$channel->ext_data('merge');
Tags can be used to import the following constant subsets:
callback channel error socket trace hash method
disconnect policy fx fxf sftp
The tag C<all> can also be used to import all of them.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new ( %options )
Create new Net::SSH2 object representing a SSH session.
The accepted options are as follows:
=over 4
=item timeout
Sets the default timeout in milliseconds. See L</timeout>.
=item trace
Sets tracing. See L</trace>.
Example:
my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new(trace => -1);
Note that tracing requires a version of libssh2 compiled with debugging support.
=item compress
Sets flag C<LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS>. See L</flag>.
=item sigpipe
Sets flag C<LIBSSH2_FLAG_SIGPIPE>. See L</flag>.
=back
=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. In list context,
returns (code, error name, error string).
Note that the returned error value is only meaningful after some other
method indicates an error by returning false.
=head2 die_with_error ( [message] )
Calls C<die> with the given message and the error information from the
object appended.
For instance:
$ssh2->connect("ajhkfhdklfjhklsjhd", 22)
or $ssh2->die_with_error;
# dies as:
# Unable to connect to remote host: Invalid argument (-1 LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_NONE)
=head2 sock
Returns a reference to the underlying L<IO::Socket> object (usually a
derived class as L<IO::Socket::IP> or L<IO::Socket::INET>), or
C<undef> if not yet connected.
=head2 trace
Calls C<libssh2_trace> with supplied bitmask. In order to enable all
tracing pass C<-1> as follows:
$ssh2->trace(-1);
A version of libssh2 compiled with tracing support is required.
=head2 timeout ( timeout_ms )
Enables a global timeout (in milliseconds) which will affect every
action (requires libssh2 1.2.9 or later).
By default, or if you set the timeout to zero, Net::SSH2 has no
timeout.
Note that timeout errors may leave the SSH connection in an
inconsistent state and further operations may fail or behave
incorrectly. Actually, some methods are able to recover after a
timeout error and others are not.
I<Don't hesitate to report any issue you encounter related to this so
that it can be fixed or at least, documented!>
=head2 method ( type [, values... ] )
Sets or gets 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 LIBSSH2_METHOD_KEX
Key exchange method names. Supported values:
=over 4
=item diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
Diffie-Hellman key exchange with SHA-1 as hash, and Oakley Group 2 (see RFC
2409).
=item diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
Diffie-Hellman key exchange with SHA-1 as hash, and Oakley Group 14 (see RFC
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 LIBSSH2_METHOD_HOSTKEY
Public key algorithms. Supported values:
=over 4
=item ssh-dss
Based on the Digital Signature Standard (FIPS-186-2).
=item ssh-rsa
Based on PKCS#1 (RFC 3447).
=back
=item LIBSSH2_METHOD_CRYPT_CS
Encryption algorithm from client to server. Supported algorithms:
=over 4

=back
=head2 connect ( handle | host [, port])
The argument combinations accepted are as follows:
=over 4
=item a glob or C<IO::*> object reference
Note that tied file handles are not acceptable. The underlying
libssh2 requires real file handles.
=item host [, port]
In order to handle IPv6 addresses the optional module
L<IO::Socket::IP> is required.
The port number defaults to 22.
=back
This method used to accept a C<Timeout> argument. That feature has
been replaced by the constructor C<timeout> option but note that it
takes milliseconds instead of seconds!
=head2 disconnect ( [description [, reason [, language]]] )
Sends 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 hostname
The name of the remote host given at connect time or retrieved from
the TCP layer.
=head2 port
The port number of the remote SSH server.
=head2 hostkey_hash ( 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 as follows:
=over 4
=item LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_MD5
MD5 hash, 16 bytes long (requires libssh2 compiled with MD5 support).
=item LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA1
SHA1 hash, 20 bytes long.
=back
Note: in previous versions of the module this method was called
C<hostkey>.
=head2 remote_hostkey
Returns the public key from the remote host and its type which is one of
C<LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_RSA>, C<LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_DSS>, or
C<LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_UNKNOWN>.
=head2 check_hostkey( [policy, [known_hosts_path [, comment] ] ] )
Looks for the remote host key inside the given known host file
(defaults to C<~/.ssh/known_hosts>).
On success, this method returns the result of the call done under the
hood to C<Net::SSH2::KnownHost::check>
(i.e. C<LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_MATCH>,
C<LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_FAILURE>,
C<LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_NOTFOUND> or
C<LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_MISMATCH>).
On failure it returns C<undef>.
The accepted policies are as follows:
=over 4
=item LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_STRICT
Only host keys already present in the known hosts file are accepted.
This is the default policy.
=item LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ASK
If the host key is not present in the known hosts file, the user is
asked if it should be accepted or not.
If accepted, the key is added to the known host file with the given
comment.
=item LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_TOFU
Trust On First Use: if the host key is not present in the known hosts
file, it is added there and accepted.
=item LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ADVISORY
The key is always accepted, but it is never saved into the known host
file.
=item callback
If a reference to a subroutine is given, it is called when the key is
not present in the known hosts file or a different key is found. The
arguments passed to the callback are the session object, the matching
error (C<LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_FAILURE>,
C<LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_NOTFOUND> or
C<LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_MISMATCH>) and the comment.
=back
=head2 auth_list ( [username] )
Returns the authentication methods accepted by the server. In scalar
context the methods are returned as a comma separated string.
When the server accepted an unauthenticated session for the given
username, this method returns C<undef> but L</auth_ok> returns true.
=head2 auth_ok
Returns true when the session is authenticated.
=head2 auth_password ( username [, password [, callback ]] )
Authenticates using a password.
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_password_interact ( username [, callback])
Prompts the user for the password interactively (requires
L<Term::ReadKey>).
=head2 auth_publickey ( username, publickey_path, privatekey_path [, passphrase ] )
Authenticate using the given private key and an optional passphrase.
When libssh2 is compiled using OpenSSL as the crypto backend, passing
this method C<undef> as the public key argument is acceptable (OpenSSL
is able to extract the public key from the private one).
=head2 auth_publickey_frommemory ( username, publickey_blob, privatekey_blob [, passphrase ] )
Authenticate using the given public/private key and an optional
passphrase. The keys must be PEM encoded (requires libssh2 1.6.0 or
later with the OpenSSL backend).
=head2 auth_hostbased ( username, publickey, privatekey, hostname,
[, local username [, passphrase ]] )
Host-based authentication using an optional passphrase. The local username
defaults to be the same as the remote username.
=head2 auth_keyboard ( username, password | callback )
Authenticate using C<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 (requires L<Term::ReadKey>)
=head2 auth_agent ( username )
Try to authenticate using an SSH agent (requires libssh2 1.2.3).
=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 C<undef> if they all failed. If a parameter is passed
with an C<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. C<keyboard> or
C<publickey>, with the addition of C<keyboard-auto> for automated
C<keyboard-interactive> and C<password-interact> which prompts the
user for the password interactively.
=item username
=item password
=item publickey
=item privatekey
C<privatekey> and C<publickey> are file paths.
=item passphrase
=item hostname
=item local_username
=item interact
If this option is set to a true value, interactive methods will be enabled.
=item fallback
If a password is given but authentication using it fails, the module
will fall back to ask the user for another password if this
parameter is set to a true value.
=item cb_keyboard
L<auth_keyboard> callback.
=item cb_password
L<auth_password> callback.
=back
For historical reasons and in order to maintain backward compatibility
with older versions of the module, when the C<password> argument is
given, it is also used as the passphrase (and a deprecation warning
generated).
In order to avoid that behaviour the C<passphrase> argument must be
also passed (it could be C<undef>). For instance:
$ssh2->auth(username => $user,
privatekey => $privatekey_path,
publickey => $publickey_path,
password => $password,
passphrase => undef);
This work around will be removed in a not too distant future version
of the module.
=head2 flag (key, value)
Sets the given session flag.
The currently supported flag values are:
=over 4
=item LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS
If set before the connection negotiation is performed, compression
will be negotiated for this connection.
Compression can also be enabled passing option C<compress> to the
constructor L<new>.
=item LIBSSH2_FLAG_SIGPIPE
if set, Net::SSH2/libssh2 will not attempt to block SIGPIPEs but will
let them trigger from the underlying socket layer.
=back
=head2 keepalive_config(want_reply, interval)
Set how often keepalive messages should be sent.
C<want_reply> indicates whether the keepalive messages should request
a response from the server. C<interval> is number of seconds that can
pass without any I/O.
=head2 keepalive_send
Send a keepalive message if needed.
On failure returns undef. On success returns how many seconds you can
sleep after this call before you need to call it again.
Note that the underlying libssh2 function C<libssh2_keepalive_send>
can not recover from EAGAIN errors. If this method fails with such
error, the SSH connection may become corrupted.
The usage of this function is discouraged.
=head2 channel ( [type, [window size, [packet size]]] )
Creates and returns a new channel object. See L<Net::SSH2::Channel>.
Type, if given, must be C<session> (a reminiscence of an old, more
generic, but never working wrapping).
=head2 tcpip ( host, port [, shost, sport ] )
Creates a TCP connection from the remote host to the given host:port,
returning a new channel.
The C<shost> and C<sport> arguments are merely informative and passed
to the remote SSH server as the origin of the connection. They default
to 127.0.0.1:22.
Note that this method does B<not> open a new port on the local machine
and forwards incoming connections to the remote side.
=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_path [, local_path ] )
Retrieve a file with SCP. Local path defaults to basename of remote.
Alternatively, C<local_path> may be an already open file handle or an
IO::Handle object (e.g. IO::File, IO::Scalar).
=head2 scp_put ( local_path [, remote_path ] )
Send a file with SCP. Remote path defaults to same as local.
Alternatively, C<local_path> may be an already open file handle or a
reference to a IO::Handle object (it must have a valid stat method).
=head2 sftp
Return SecureFTP interface object (see L<Net::SSH2::SFTP>).
Note that SFTP support in libssh2 is pretty rudimentary. You should
consider using L<Net::SFTP::Foreign> with the L<Net::SSH2> backend
L<Net::SFTP::Foreign::Backend::Net_SSH2> instead.
=head2 public_key
Return public key interface object (see L<Net::SSH2::PublicKey>).
=head2 known_hosts
Returns known hosts interface object (see L<Net::SSH2::KnownHosts>).
=head2 poll ( timeout, arrayref of hashes )
B<Deprecated>: the poll functionality in libssh2 is deprecated and
its usage disregarded. Session methods L</sock> and
L</block_directions> can be used instead to integrate Net::SSH2
inside an external event loop.
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 block_directions
Get the blocked direction after some method returns
C<LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN>.
Returns C<LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_INBOUND> or/and
C<LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_OUTBOUND>.
=head2 debug ( state )
Class method (affects all Net::SSH2 objects).
Pass 1 to enable, 0 to disable. Debug output is sent to C<STDERR>.
=head2 blocking ( flag )
Enable or disable blocking.
A good number of the methods in Net::SSH2/libssh2 can not work in
non-blocking mode. Some of them may just forcibly enable blocking
during its execution. A few may even corrupt the SSH session or crash
the program.
The ones that can be safely called are C<read> and, with some
caveats, C<write>. See L<Net::SSH2::Channel/write>.
