ssh

Create ssh servers in node.js!

status

This module has all kinds of problems since the node.js thread pool does not play nicely with libssh.

example

simple echo shell

var ssh = require('ssh');

ssh.createServer(function (session) {
    session.on('password', function (user, pass, cb) {
        cb(user === 'foo' && pass === 'bar');
    });
    
    session.on('shell', function (sh) {
        sh.pipe(sh); // echo on
    });
}).listen(2222);

installation

You'll need a version of libssh with my patches:

git clone git://github.com/substack/libssh.git master
cd libssh && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make && make install

That should install libssh.pc, which is used by pkg-config during the wscript installation. Make sure libssh.pc got installed into your $PKG_CONFIG_PATH someplace.

You can then install with npm:

npm install ssh
