Usage

Create a client using password authentication

import SSHClient from 'react-native-ssh-sftp';

let client = new SSHClient('10.0.0.10', 22, 'user', 'password', (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

Create a client using public key authentication

import SSHClient from 'react-native-ssh-sftp';

let client = new SSHClient('10.0.0.10', 22, 'user', {privateKey: '-----BEGIN RSA......'}, (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

• Public key authentication also supports:

{privateKey: '-----BEGIN RSA......'}
{privateKey: '-----BEGIN RSA......', publicKey: 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EA......'}
{privateKey: '-----BEGIN RSA......', publicKey: 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EA......', passphrase: 'Password'}

Close client

client.disconnect();

Execute SSH command

var command = 'ls -l';
client.execute(command, (error, output) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
  if (output)
    console.warn(output);
});

Shell

Start shell:

• Supported ptyType: vanilla, vt100, vt102, vt220, ansi, xterm

var ptyType = 'vanilla';
client.startShell(ptyType, (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

Read from shell:

client.on('Shell', (event) => {
  if (event)
    console.warn(event);
});

Write to shell:

var str = 'ls -l\n';
client.writeToShell(str, (error) => {
  if (error) 
    console.warn(error);
});

Close shell:

client.closeShell();

SFTP

Connect SFTP

client.connectSFTP((error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

List directory:

var path = '.';
client.sftpLs(path, (error, response) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
  if (response)
    console.warn(response);
});

Create directory:

client.sftpMkdir('dirName', (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

Rename file or directory:

client.sftpRename('oldName', 'newName', (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

Remove directory:

client.sftpRmdir('dirName', (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

Remove file:

client.sftpRm('fileName', (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

Download file:

client.sftpDownload('[path-to-remote-file]', '[path-to-local-direcotry]', (error, downloadedFilePath) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
  if (downloadedFilePath)
    console.warn(downloadedFilePath);
});

// Downlowd progress
client.on('DownloadProgress', (event) => {
  console.warn(event);
});

// Cancel download:
client.sftpCancelDownload();

Upload file:

client.sftpUpload('[path-to-local-file]', '[path-to-remote-directory]', (error) => {
  if (error)
    console.warn(error);
});

// Upload progress
client.on('UploadProgress', (event) => {
  console.warn(event);
});

// Cancel upload:
client.sftpCancelUpload();

Close SFTP:

client.disconnectSFTP();
