openssh-mux-client

Rust library to communicate with openssh-mux-server using ssh_mux_format.

The entire crate is built upon official document on ssh multiplex protocol.

Currently, I have written a few test cases to make sure the

• health check
• session opening
• remote port forwarding

are working as intended, while features

• local port forwarding
• dynamic forwarding
• graceful shutdown of the ssh multiplex server
• terminating the ssh multiplex server

are implemented but not tested.

There are also two features that I didn't implement:

• forward stdio (stdin + stdout) to remote port (not that useful)
• closure of port forwarding (according to the [document], it is not implemented yet by ssh)

While it is extremely likely there are bugs in my code, I think it is ready for testing.

Development

To run tests, make sure you have bash, ssh and docker installed on your computer and run:
