winssh

Node.js 'SSH-like' server for Windows, in less that 100 lines of code.

Does not provide any way of authentication (yet). Although you can set IP address allow/deny rules.

Installation

npm install -g winssh

Usage

> winssh
WinSSH server listening on port 22
Connect using: ssh 10.10.2.39 -p 22

That's it! There are a few options available:

-p/--port [port]
-a/--allow [hosts]
-d/--deny [hosts]
-D/--debug

You'd use them like this:

> winssh -p 2222 # listens on port 2222
> winssh -d 6.5.4.3 # denies access from IP 6.5.4.3
> winssh -a 10.0.2.8,10.0.2.10 # allows access only from IPs 10.0.2.8 and 10.0.2.10

Programatic use

But of course. Options are equivalent to those than available on the CLI.

var winssh = require('winssh');
 
// using the default options (port 22, no allow or deny hosts)
winssh.start(function(err, server) {
  if (!err)
    console.log('Server listening on port ' + server.address().port); // by default, port 22
});
 
var options = {
  port: 2345,
  allow: [ '10.0.2.2' ]
}
 
winssh.start(options, function(err, server) {
  // all connections will be rejected, except those coming from '10.0.2.2'
});
