As of v2.6.4, all gem releases are signed. See INSTALL.
Net::SSH is a pure-Ruby implementation of the SSH2 client protocol. It allows you to write programs that invoke and interact with processes on remote servers, via SSH2.
-
Execute processes on remote servers and capture their output
-
Run multiple processes in parallel over a single SSH connection
-
Support for SSH subsystems
-
Forward local and remote ports via an SSH connection
In a nutshell:
require 'net/ssh' Net::SSH.start('host', 'user', :password => "password") do |ssh| # capture all stderr and stdout output from a remote process output = ssh.exec!("hostname") puts output # capture only stdout matching a particular pattern stdout = "" ssh.exec!("ls -l /home/jamis") do |channel, stream, data| stdout << data if stream == :stdout end puts stdout # run multiple processes in parallel to completion ssh.exec "sed ..." ssh.exec "awk ..." ssh.exec "rm -rf ..." ssh.loop # open a new channel and configure a minimal set of callbacks, then run # the event loop until the channel finishes (closes) channel = ssh.open_channel do |ch| ch.exec "/usr/local/bin/ruby /path/to/file.rb" do |ch, success| raise "could not execute command" unless success # "on_data" is called when the process writes something to stdout ch.on_data do |c, data| $stdout.print data end # "on_extended_data" is called when the process writes something to stderr ch.on_extended_data do |c, type, data| $stderr.print data end ch.on_close { puts "done!" } end end channel.wait # forward connections on local port 1234 to port 80 of www.capify.org ssh.forward.local(1234, "www.capify.org", 80) ssh.loop { true } end
See Net::SSH for more documentation, and links to further information.
The only requirement you might be missing is the OpenSSL bindings for Ruby. These are built by default on most platforms, but you can verify that they’re built and installed on your system by running the following command line:
ruby -ropenssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::OPENSSL_VERSION'
If that spits out something like “OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007”, then you’re set. If you get an error, then you’ll need to see about rebuilding ruby with OpenSSL support, or (if your platform supports it) installing the OpenSSL bindings separately.
Lastly, if you want to run the tests or use any of the Rake tasks, you’ll need Mocha and other dependencies listed in Gemfile
-
gem install net-ssh (might need sudo privileges)
NOTE: If you are running on jruby on windows you need to install jruby-pageant manually (gemspec doesn’t allow for platform specific dependencies).
However, in order to be sure the code you’re installing hasn’t been tampered with, it’s recommended that you verify the signature. To do this, you need to add my public key as a trusted certificate (you only need to do this once):
# Add the public key as a trusted certificate # (You only need to do this once) $ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/master/net-ssh-public_cert.pem $ gem cert --add net-ssh-public_cert.pem
Then, when install the gem, do so with high security:
$ gem install net-ssh -P HighSecurity
If you don’t add the public key, you’ll see an error like “Couldn’t verify data signature”. If you’re still having trouble let me know and I’ll give you a hand.
For ed25519 public key auth support your bundle file should contain “‘ed25519“`, “`bcrypt_pbkdf“` dependencies.
-
Ruby 1.8.x is supported up until the net-ssh 2.5.1 release.
-
Ruby 1.9.x is supported up until the net-ssh 2.9.x release.
-
Current net-ssh releases require Ruby 2.0 or later.
Run the test suite from the net-ssh directory with the following command:
bundle exec rake test
Run a single test file like this:
ruby -Ilib -Itest test/transport/test_server_version.rb
To run integration tests see test/integration/README.txt
rake build
If you have the net-ssh private signing key, you will be able to create signed release builds. Make sure the private key path matches the ‘signing_key` path set in `net-ssh.gemspec` and tell rake to sign the gem by setting the `NET_SSH_BUILDGEM_SIGNED` flag:
NET_SSH_BUILDGEM_SIGNED=true rake build
For time to time, the public certificate associated to the private key needs to be renewed. You can do this with the following command:
gem cert --build [email protected] --private-key path/2/net-ssh-private_key.pem mv gem-public_cert.pem net-ssh-public_cert.pem gem cert --add net-ssh-public_cert.pem
