ssh_sshd(3)

MODULE
ssh_sshd - SSH server with erlang shell.

DESCRIPTION

This module implements an erlang shell as an SSH server.

EXPORTS

listen(Port) -> {ok, Pid}|{error, Error}
listen(Port, Options) -> {ok, Pid}|{error, Error}
listen(Addr, Port, Options) -> {ok, Pid}|{error, Error}

    Types
        Addr = string()
        Port = integer()
        Options = [{Option, Value}]

    Create a listener on the given port. (It calls ssh_cli:listen with shell:start/0 as argument.) An SSH client can be used to connect to the listener and execute erlang commands.

    Unix example:
    1>ssh_sshd:listen(9999, [{system_dir, "."}])
    <0.59.0>

    On a unix shell:
    bash@balin$ssh -p 9999 balin
    Eshell V5.4.9.1  (abort with ^G)
    1>exit().
    Connection to balin closed.
    bash@balin$

    This assumes that the current dir contains a private host key.

    For options, see ssh_cli:listen/3 and ssh_cm:listen/4.

stop(Pid) -> ok | {error, Reason}

    Types
        Pid = pid()
        Reason = atom()

    Stops the listener given by Pid.
