How To Execute SSH Commands Via PHP

Question

I am looking to SSH out via PHP  What is the best most secure way to go about this  I know I can do   shell exec  SSH user host com mkdir  testing      Anything better  That feels so  naughty

Use the ssh2 functions  Anything you d do via an exec   call can be done directly using these functions  saving you a lot of connections and shell invocations

Update 2018   works    Method1   Download phpseclib v1 and use this code    lt  php set include path   DIR       phpseclib1 0 11    include  Net SSH2 php      key   MyPassword            if using PrivateKey        include  Crypt RSA php       key   new Crypt RSA       key- gt loadKey file get contents  private-key ppk            ssh   new Net SSH2  www example com   22        Domain or IP if    ssh- gt login  your username    key    exit  Login Failed     echo  ssh- gt exec  pwd      gt    or Method2   Download newest phpseclib v2  requires composer install at first     lt  php  set include path  path   DIR       phpseclib-master phpseclib    include   path      vendor autoload php      loader   new  Composer Autoload ClassLoader     use phpseclib Net SSH2    key   MyPassword            if using PrivateKey        use phpseclib Crypt RSA     key   new RSA       key- gt load file get contents  private-key ppk            ssh   new SSH2  www example com   22        Domain or IP if    ssh- gt login  your username    key     exit  Login Failed      echo  ssh- gt exec  pwd      gt    p s  if you get  Connection timed out  then it s probably the issue of HOST FIREWALL  local or remote  or like that  not a fault of script

For those using the Symfony framework  the phpseclib can also be used to connect via SSH  It can be installed using composer   composer require phpseclib phpseclib   Next  simply use it as follows   use phpseclib Net SSH2      Within a controller for example   ssh   new SSH2  hostname or ip    if    ssh- gt login  username    password             Login failed  do something     return value    ssh- gt exec  command

I would use phpseclib  a pure PHP SSH implementation   An example    lt  php include  Net SSH2 php      ssh   new Net SSH2  www domain tld    if    ssh- gt login  username    password          exit  Login Failed       echo  ssh- gt exec  pwd    echo  ssh- gt exec  ls -la      gt

I ve had a hard time with ssh2 in php mostly because the output stream sometimes works and sometimes it doesn t  I m just gonna paste my lib here which works for me very well  If there are small inconsistencies in code it s because I have it plugged in a framework but you should be fine porting it    lt  php  class Components Ssh        private  host       private  user       private  pass
