Net::SSH is a Ruby implementation of the SSH2 client protocol.
http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ssh
You asked for it, and you got it! Version 0.0.3 now supports port
forwarding. You can enable forwarding both from local to remote ports,
and vice versa (corresponding to the -L and -R options of ssh). Also,
you can programmatically mimic connection to/from ports, using handler
objects.
Here's a quick demo of port forwarding:
Net::SSH.start( 'localhost' ) do |session|
manager = Net::SSH::Service:
ortForwardManager.new( session )
manager.forward_local( 12345, 'www.yahoo.com', 80 )
manager.forward_local( 12346, 'www.google.com', 80 )
session.main_loop { true }
end
See the "examples" subdirectory for more examples.
This release also allows clients to specify their preferred SSH
algorithms. This means you can (for example) enable zlib compression of
the data stream. See the examples subdirectory for an example of how to
do this.
A few other fixes have been made, though the code is still far from
perfect, or complete. More work needs to be done on:
- increasing the coverage of the SFTP protocol
- supporting ssh-agent if one is running
- supporting private keys with key/value pairs in their headers
- implementing a synchronous version of Net::SSH::Session
Try it out and let me know what you like/don't like. Wishlists are
accepted, as well. As usual, any version of Ruby < 1.8.2 will need to
have the patched version of OpenSSL, also available from the Net::SSH
downloads page.
