WAT

A wrapper around go's core implementation of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh to make ssh and scp usage more convenient in the regular cases you need it

Library usage

Please see the examples here

• ssh
• scp

Detailed

For ssh key based auth use this

package mystuff

import (
	"github.com/eugenmayer/go-sshclient/sshwrapper"
	"log"
)

func Run(cmd string) {
    sshApi, err := sshwrapper.DefaultSshApiSetup("somehost", 22, "root","/home/me/.ssh/id_rsa")    
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    
    stdout, stderr, err := sshApi.Run(cmd)
    if err != nil {
        log.Print(stdout)
        log.Print(stderr)
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

If you want to use your local ssh agent

package mystuff

import (
	"github.com/eugenmayer/go-sshclient/sshwrapper"
	"log"
)

func Run(cmd string) {
	sshApi, err := sshwrapper.DefaultSshApiSetup("somehost", 22, "root","")    
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    
    stdout, stderr, err := sshApi.Run(cmd)
    if err != nil {
        log.Print(stdout)
        log.Print(stderr)
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

And if you want to use (why..please why..) password based connection

package mystuff

import (
	"github.com/eugenmayer/go-sshclient/sshwrapper"
	"log"
)

func Run(cmd string) {
    sshApi, err := sshwrapper.DefaultSshApiSetup("somehost", 22, "root","")
    sshApi.Password = "test"
    // now override the auth config with a password baed config
    err = sshApi.DefaultSshPasswordSetup()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    
    stdout, stderr, err := sshApi.Run(cmd)
    if err != nil {
        log.Print(stdout)
        log.Print(stderr)
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

Tests

You need docker

make run-tests
