# async-ssh2-tokio


[Docs.rs](https://docs.rs/async-ssh2-tokio/latest/async_ssh2_tokio/),
[Crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/async-ssh2-tokio)
This library is an asynchronous and easy-to-use high level ssh client library
for rust with the tokio runtime. Powered by the rust ssh implementation
[russh](https://github.com/warp-tech/russh).
## Features
* Connect to a SSH Host
* Execute commands on the remote host
* Get the stdout and exit code of the command
## Install
```rust
[dependencies]
tokio = "1"
async-ssh2-tokio = "0.6.2"
```
## Usage
```rust
use async_ssh2_tokio::client::{Client, AuthMethod, ServerCheckMethod};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), async_ssh2_tokio::Error> {
// if you want to use key auth, then use following:
// AuthMethod::with_key_file("key_file_name", Some("passphrase"));
// or
// AuthMethod::with_key_file("key_file_name", None);
// or
// AuthMethod::with_key(key: &str, passphrase: Option<&str>)
let auth_method = AuthMethod::with_password("root");
let mut client = Client::connect(
("10.10.10.2", 22),
"root",
auth_method,
ServerCheckMethod::NoCheck,
).await?;
let result = client.execute("echo Hello SSH").await?;
assert_eq!(result.output, "Hello SSH\n");
assert_eq!(result.exit_status, 0);
let result = client.execute("echo Hello Again :)").await?;
assert_eq!(result.output, "Hello Again :)\n");
assert_eq!(result.exit_status, 0);
Ok(())
}
```
## Running Tests
In order to run the tests, either set up docker compose on your machine
or set the following environment variables for a working ssh host:
* `ASYNC_SSH2_TEST_HOST_IP`: The ip, e.g. `127.0.0.1` when testing with localhost.
* `ASYNC_SSH2_TEST_HOST_USER`: The username to connect as.
* `ASYNC_SSH2_TEST_HOST_PW`: The corresponding password. Since this is plain text, creating a new unpriviledged user is recommended.
Note: The doc tests do not use these variables and are therefore not run, but only compiled.
