In this directory can be found example scripts using ssh2-python for various operations.

To try them out, install the library and run the scripts like so:

me Would block, waiting for socket to be ready Would block, waiting for socket to be ready Waiting for command to finish Waiting for command to finish me Starting copy of local file <source file> to remote localhost:<dest file> Finished writing remote file in 0:00:00.006304

Do not use the same filename for source and destination when connecting to localhost if you want to keep your file intact.

Starting read for remote file <remote file> Finished file read in 0:00:00.045763

Note there is no error checking and file is assumed to exist. The script will hang if it does not.

Would block on sftp init, waiting for socket to be ready <..> Would block on sftp init, waiting for socket to be ready Starting read for remote file <remote file> Would block on handle open Would block on read, waiting.. Finished file read in 0:00:00.056730

Print a directory listing in non-blocking mode.

Starting read for remote dir . Would block on readdir, waiting on socket.. b'<..>'

Authentication with wrong password raises AuthenticationError exception.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "examples/password_auth.py", line 45, in <module> main() File "examples/password_auth.py", line 35, in main s.userauth_password(args.user, args.password) File "ssh2/session.pyx", line 250, in ssh2.session.Session.userauth_password raise AuthenticationError( ssh2.exceptions.AuthenticationError: ('Error authenticating user %s with password', '<user>')

Simple SSH agent authentication. The method used here is a helper function, not part of the libssh2 API, to do all the individual steps needed to retrieve, check and attempt to authenticate with an available SSH agent, raising exceptions on errors.
