As of v2.6.4, all gem releases are signed. See INSTALL.
Net::SSH is a pure-Ruby implementation of the SSH2 client protocol. It allows you to write programs that invoke and interact with processes on remote servers, via SSH2.
- Execute processes on remote servers and capture their output
- Run multiple processes in parallel over a single SSH connection
- Support for SSH subsystems
- Forward local and remote ports via an SSH connection
Net::SSH 6.0 disables by default the usage of weak algorithms. We strongly recommend that you install a servers's version that supports the latest algorithms.
It is possible to return to the previous behavior by adding the option : append_all_supported_algorithms: true
Unsecure algoritms will definitely be removed in Net::SSH 8.*.

In a nutshell:
require 'net/ssh'
Net::SSH.start('host', 'user', password: "password") do |ssh|
# capture all stderr and stdout output from a remote process
output = ssh.exec!("hostname")
puts output
# capture only stdout matching a particular pattern
stdout = ""
ssh.exec!("ls -l /home/jamis") do |channel, stream, data|
stdout << data if stream == :stdout && /foo/.match(data)
end
puts stdout
# run multiple processes in parallel to completion
ssh.exec "sed ..."
ssh.exec "awk ..."
ssh.exec "rm -rf ..."
ssh.loop
# open a new channel and configure a minimal set of callbacks, then run
# the event loop until the channel finishes (closes)
channel = ssh.open_channel do |ch|
ch.exec "/usr/local/bin/ruby /path/to/file.rb" do |ch, success|
raise "could not execute command" unless success
# "on_data" is called when the process writes something to stdout
ch.on_data do |c, data|
$stdout.print data
end
# "on_extended_data" is called when the process writes something to stderr
ch.on_extended_data do |c, type, data|
$stderr.print data
end
ch.on_close { puts "done!" }
end
end
channel.wait
# forward connections on local port 1234 to port 80 of www.capify.org
ssh.forward.local(1234, "www.capify.org", 80)
ssh.loop { true }
endSee Net::SSH for more documentation, and links to further information.
The only requirement you might be missing is the OpenSSL bindings for Ruby with a version greather than 1.0.1.
These are built by default on most platforms, but you can verify that they're built and installed on your system by running the following command line:
ruby -ropenssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::OPENSSL_VERSION'If that spits out something like OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012, then you're set.
If you get an error, then you'll need to see about rebuilding ruby with OpenSSL support,
or (if your platform supports it) installing the OpenSSL bindings separately.
gem install net-ssh # might need sudo privilegesNOTE: If you are running on jruby on windows you need to install jruby-pageant manually
(gemspec doesn't allow for platform specific dependencies at gem installation time).
However, in order to be sure the code you're installing hasn't been tampered with, it's recommended that you verify the signature. To do this, you need to add my public key as a trusted certificate (you only need to do this once):
# Add the public key as a trusted certificate
# (You only need to do this once)
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/master/net-ssh-public_cert.pem
gem cert --add net-ssh-public_cert.pemThen, when install the gem, do so with high security:
gem install net-ssh -P HighSecurityIf you don't add the public key, you'll see an error like "Couldn't verify data signature". If you're still having trouble let me know and I'll give you a hand.
For ed25519 public key auth support your bundle file should contain ed25519, bcrypt_pbkdf dependencies.
gem install ed25519
gem install bcrypt_pbkdfFor curve25519-sha256 kex exchange support your bundle file should contain x25519 dependency.
- See net-ssh.gemspec for current versions ruby requirements
If you want to run the tests or use any of the Rake tasks, you'll need Mocha and other dependencies listed in Gemfile
Run the test suite from the net-ssh directory with the following command:
bundle exec rake testNOTE : you can run test on all ruby versions with docker :
docker-compose up --build
Run a single test file like this:
ruby -Ilib -Itest test/transport/test_server_version.rbTo run integration tests see here
rake buildIf you have the net-ssh private signing key, you will be able to create signed release builds. Make sure the private key path matches the signing_key path set in net-ssh.gemspec and tell rake to sign the gem by setting the NET_SSH_BUILDGEM_SIGNED flag:
NET_SSH_BUILDGEM_SIGNED=true rake buildFor time to time, the public certificate associated to the private key needs to be renewed. You can do this with the following command:
gem cert --build [email protected] --private-key path/2/net-ssh-private_key.pem
mv gem-public_cert.pem net-ssh-public_cert.pem
gem cert --add net-ssh-public_cert.pemSee SECURITY.md
