(PECL ssh2 >= 0.9.0)
ssh2_connect — Connect to an SSH server
Establish a connection to a remote SSH server.
Once connected, the client should verify the server's hostkey using ssh2_fingerprint(), then authenticate using either password or public key.
methods may be an associative array with up to four parameters as described below.
| Index | Meaning | Supported Values* |
|---|---|---|
| kex | List of key exchange methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. | diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1, and diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 |
| hostkey | List of hostkey methods to advertise, come separated in order of preference. | ssh-rsa and ssh-dss |
| client_to_server | Associative array containing crypt, compression, and message authentication code (MAC) method preferences for messages sent from client to server. | |
| server_to_client | Associative array containing crypt, compression, and message authentication code (MAC) method preferences for messages sent from client to server. |
* - Supported Values are dependent on methods supported by underlying library. See » libssh2 documentation for additional information.
| Index | Meaning | Supported Values* |
|---|---|---|
| crypt | List of crypto methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. | rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se, aes256-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes128-cbc, 3des-cbc, blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, arcfour, and none** |
| comp | List of compression methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. | zlib and none |
| mac | List of MAC methods to advertise, come separated in order of preference. | hmac-sha1, hmac-sha1-96, hmac-ripemd160, hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com, and none** |
Note: Crypt and MAC method "none"
For security reasons, none is disabled by the underlying » libssh2 library unless explicitly enabled during build time by using the appropriate ./configure options. See documentation for the underlying library for more information.
callbacks may be an associative array with any or all of the following parameters.
| Index | Meaning | Prototype |
|---|---|---|
| ignore | Name of function to call when an SSH2_MSG_IGNORE packet is received | void ignore_cb($message) |
| debug | Name of function to call when an SSH2_MSG_DEBUG packet is received | void debug_cb($message, $language, $always_display) |
| macerror | Name of function to call when a packet is received but the message authentication code failed. If the callback returns TRUE, the mismatch will be ignored, otherwise the connection will be terminated. | bool macerror_cb($packet) |
| disconnect | Name of function to call when an SSH2_MSG_DISCONNECT packet is received | void disconnect_cb($reason, $message, $language) |
Returns a resource on success, or FALSE on error.
Example #1 ssh2_connect() example
Open a connection forcing 3des-cbc when sending packets, any strength aes cipher when receiving packets, no compression in either direction, and Group1 key exchange.
<?php
/* Notify the user if the server terminates the connection */
