ssh-connect-prompt

Connect to ssh using ssh2 and prompt stdin for host verification, key decryption etc. Similar to what standard ssh does.

npm install ssh-connect-prompt

Usage

var connect = require('ssh-connect-prompt');
 
// c is a ssh2 connection.
var c = connect('username@example.com');
 
// Host verification events and passphrase input will be forwarded to the terminal as a prompt in
// a way that is similar to the regular ssh prompt
 
c.on('non-interactive', function() {
    console.log('No more prompts...');
});
 
c.on('ready', function() {
    console.log('Connection open!');
});

If $SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set it will be passed as an agent and id_rsa will be used as the private key per default. When a key is verified it will be added to ~/.ssh/known_hosts - just like regular ssh
