ssh-exec-async

Execute a script/file over ssh using Node.JS and pipe to and from it

Install

$ yarn add ssh-exec-async

It is written in plain Javascript and uses ssh2 for all the heavy lifting.

Usage

const Client = require('ssh-exec-async')

// using ~/.ssh/id_rsa as the private key
const ssh = new Client('ubuntu@my-remote.com');

(async () => {
  const res = await ssh.exec('ls -lh');
  console.log(res);
  const res2 = await ssh.execFile('test.sh');
  console.log(res2);
})();


// or using the more settings
const ssh = new Client({
  user: 'ubuntu',
  host: 'my-remote.com',
  password: 'my-user-password',
  // key: myKeyFileOrBuffer,
});

(async () => {
  const res = await ssh.exec('ls -lh');
  console.log(res);
  const res2 = await ssh.execFile('test.sh');
  console.log(res2);
})();

The test.sh file content:

cd /data

pwd

ls -lh
