remotefs SSH

About remotefs-ssh ☁️

remotefs-ssh is a client implementation for remotefs, providing support for the SFTP/SCP protocol.

Get started 🚀

First of all, add remotefs-ssh to your project dependencies:

remotefs = "0.3"
remotefs-ssh = "^0.7"

[!NOTE] The library supports multiple ssh backends. Currently libssh2 and libssh are supported.

By default the library is using libssh2.

Available backends

Each backend can be set as a feature in your Cargo.toml. Multiple backends can be enabled at the same time.

libssh2: The default backend, using the libssh2 library for SSH connections.
libssh: An alternative backend, using the libssh library for SSH connections.

Each backend can be built with the vendored version, using the vendored feature instead:

libssh2-vendored: Build the libssh2 backend with the vendored version of the library.
libssh-vendored: Build the libssh backend with the vendored version of the library.

If the vendored feature is NOT provided, you will need to have the corresponding system libraries installed on your machine.

[!NOTE] If you need SftpFs to be Sync YOU MUST use libssh2.

Other features

these features are supported:

find: enable find() method on client (enabled by default)
no-log: disable logging. By default, this library will log via the log crate.

Ssh client

Here is a basic usage example, with the Sftp client, which is very similiar to the Scp client.

Both the SftpFs and ScpFs constructors are respectively SftpFs::libssh2 and SftpFs::libssh accordingly to the enabled backends.

// import remotefs trait and client
use remotefs::RemoteFs;
use remotefs_ssh::{SshConfigParseRule, SftpFs, SshOpts};
use std::path::Path;

let opts = SshOpts::new("127.0.0.1")
    .port(22)
    .username("test")
    .password("password")
    .config_file(Path::new("/home/cvisintin/.ssh/config"), ParseRule::STRICT);

let mut client = SftpFs::libssh2(opts);

// connect
assert!(client.connect().is_ok());
// get working directory
println!("Wrkdir: {}", client.pwd().ok().unwrap().display());
// change working directory
assert!(client.change_dir(Path::new("/tmp")).is_ok());
// disconnect
assert!(client.disconnect().is_ok());

Client compatibility table ✔️

The following table states the compatibility for the client client and the remote file system trait method.

Note: connect(), disconnect() and is_connected() MUST always be supported, and are so omitted in the table.
