# ssh_sshd

### MODULE

ssh_sshd

### MODULE SUMMARY

SSH server with erlang shell.

### DESCRIPTION

This module implements an erlang shell as an SSH server.

### EXPORTS

`listen(Port) -> {ok, Pid}|{error, Error}`
`listen(Port, Options) -> {ok, Pid}|{error, Error}`
`listen(Addr, Port, Options) -> {ok, Pid}|{error, Error}`

Types:

`Addr = string()`
`Port = integer()`
`Options = [{Option, Value}]`

Create a listener on the given port. (It calls `ssh_cli:listen` with `shell:start/0` as argument.) An SSH client can be used to connect to the listener and execute erlang commands.

Unix example:

    1> ssh_sshd:listen(9999, [{system_dir, "."}])
    <0.59.0>

On a unix shell:

    bash@balin$ ssh -p 9999 balin
    Eshell V5.4.9.1  (abort with ^G)
    1> exit().
    Connection to balin closed.
    bash@balin$

This assumes that the current dir contains a private host key.

For options, see `ssh_cli:listen/3` and `ssh_cm:listen/4`.

`stop(Pid) -> ok | {error, Reason}`

Types:

`Pid = pid()`
`Reason = atom()`

Stops the listener given by `Pid`.
