SSH Remote System Tools

Some jumpscale functions to deal with a remote system over SSH

These are a set of tools inspired on j.system.fs ... but they work remotely over ssh.

There is some small overlap with cuisine.

connect

sys=j.remote.system.connect(ip, login='', password='', timeout=120.0, port=22)  
#if password=="" then will try to use the ssh-agent or predefined keys

sys.fs

sys.fs.copyDirTree             sys.fs.fileGetContents         sys.fs.removeFile
sys.fs.copyDirTreeLocalRemote  sys.fs.isDir                   sys.fs.uploadFile
sys.fs.copyFile                sys.fs.isEmptyDir              sys.fs.writeFile
sys.fs.createDir               sys.fs.isFile                  
sys.fs.exists                  sys.fs.moveFile

sys.portforward

very cool tools to remote portforward over ssh from out of python

sys.portforward.cancelForwardRemotePort
sys.portforward.forwardLocalPort
sys.portforward.forwardRemotePort

sys.portforward.forwardLocalPort(localPort, remoteHost, remotePort, inThread=False)
    Set up a forward tunnel across an SSH server

    @param localPort: local port to forward
    @param remoteHost: remote host to forward to
    @param remotePort: remote port to forward to
    @param inThread: should we run the forward in a separate thread

sys.portforward.forwardRemotePort(self, serverPort, remoteHost, remotePort, serverHost='', inThread=False)

    Set up a reverse forwarding tunnel across an SSH server

    @param serverPort: port on server to forward (0 to let server assign port)
    @param remoteHost: remote host to forward to
    @param remotePort: remote port to forward to
    @param serverHost: host on the server to bind to
    @param inThread: should we run the forward in a separate thread

    @return:            Port number used on ther server
    @rtype:             int

sys.process

only 2 commands for now

returncode,stdout,stderr=sys.process.execute(command, dieOnNonZeroExitCode=False, outputToStdout=True, loglevel=5, timeout=None)

sys.process.killProcess(pid)
