Overview

The transport layer represents the lowest level of the SSH protocol, and implements basic message exchanging and protocol initialization. It will never be instantiated directly (unless you really know what you’re about), but will instead be created for you automatically when you create a new SSH session via Net::SSH.start.

Instantiates a new transport layer abstraction. This will block until the initial key exchange completes, leaving you with a ready-to-use transport session.

#next_messageObject

Blocks until a new packet is available to be read, and returns that packet. See #poll_message.



174
175
176
# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/session.rb', line 174

def next_message
  poll_message(:block)
end

#peerObject

Returns a hash of information about the peer (remote) side of the socket, including :ip, :port, :host, and :canonized (see #host_as_string).



168
169

# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/session.rb', line 168

  @peer ||= { ip: socket.peer_ip, port: @port.to_i, host: @host, canonized: host_as_string }
end

#poll_message(mode = :nonblock, consume_queue = true) ⇒ Object

Tries to read the next packet from the socket. If mode is :nonblock (the default), this will not block and will return nil if there are no packets waiting to be read. Otherwise, this will block until a packet is available. Note that some packet types (DISCONNECT, IGNORE, UNIMPLEMENTED, DEBUG, and KEXINIT) are handled silently by this method, and will never be returned.

If a key-exchange is in process and a disallowed packet type is received, it will be enqueued and otherwise ignored. When a key-exchange is not in process, and consume_queue is true, packets will be first read from the queue before the socket is queried.

end

#push(packet) ⇒ Object

Adds the given packet to the packet queue. If the queue is non-empty, #poll_message will return packets from the queue in the order they were received.

237
238
# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/session.rb', line 236

def push(packet)
  @queue.push(packet)
end

#rekey!Object

Requests a rekey operation, and blocks until the operation completes. If a rekey is already pending, this returns immediately, having no effect.

  end
end

#rekey_as_neededObject

Returns immediately if a rekey is already in process. Otherwise, if a rekey is needed (as indicated by the socket, see PacketStream#if_needs_rekey?) one is performed, causing this method to block until it completes.

def rekey_as_needed

#send_message(message) ⇒ Object

Sends the given message via the packet stream, blocking until the entire message has been sent.



242
243
244
# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/session.rb', line 242

def send_message(message)
  socket.send_packet(message)
end

#service_request(service) ⇒ Object

Returns a new service_request packet for the given service name, ready for sending to the server.



143
144
145
# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/session.rb', line 143

def service_request(service)
  Net::SSH::Buffer.from(:byte, SERVICE_REQUEST, :string, service)
end

#shutdown!Object

Performs a “hard” shutdown of the connection. In general, this should never be done, but it might be necessary (in a rescue clause, for instance, when the connection needs to close but you don’t know the status of the underlying protocol’s state).



136
137
138
139
# File 'lib/net/ssh/transport/session.rb', line 136

def shutdown!
  error { "forcing connection closed" }
  socket.close
end

#waitObject

Waits (blocks) until the given block returns true. If no block is given, this just waits long enough to see if there are any pending packets. Any packets read are enqueued (see #push).
