<description>
- <p>Interface module for the <c>ssh</c> application.</p>
- <p>See <seealso marker="ssh:SSH_app#supported">ssh(6)</seealso> for details of supported version,
- algorithms and unicode support.</p>
+ <p>This is the interface module for the <c>SSH</c> application.
+ The Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol is a protocol for secure remote login
+ and other secure network services over an insecure network.
+ See <seealso marker="ssh:SSH_app#supported">ssh(6)</seealso> for details of supported RFCs, versions,
+ algorithms and unicode handling.
+ </p>
+ <p>With the SSH application it is possible to start <i>clients</i> and to start <i>daemons</i> (servers).
+ </p>
+ <p>Clients are started with
+ <seealso marker="#connect/2">connect/2</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#connect/3">connect/3</seealso> or
+ <seealso marker="#connect/4">connect/4</seealso>. They open an encrypted connection on top of TCP/IP.
+ In that encrypted connection one or more channels could be opened with
+ <seealso marker="ssh_connection#session_channel/2">ssh_connection:session_channel/2,4</seealso>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Each channel is an isolated "pipe" between a client-side process and a server-side process. Thoose process
+ pairs could handle for example file transfers (sftp) or remote command execution (shell, exec and/or cli).
+ If a custom shell is implemented, the user of the client could execute the special commands remotely. Note that
+ the user is not necessarily a human but probably a system interfacing the SSH app.
+ </p>
+ <p>A server-side subssystem (channel) server is requested by the client with
+ <seealso marker="ssh_connection#subsystem/4">ssh_connection:subsystem/4</seealso>.
+ </p>
+ <p>A server (daemon) is started with
+ <seealso marker="#daemon/2">daemon/1</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#daemon/2">daemon/2</seealso> or
+ <seealso marker="#daemon/2">daemon/3</seealso>.
+ Possible channel handlers (subsystems) are declared with the
+ <seealso marker="#type-subsystem_daemon_option">subsystem</seealso> option when the daemon is started.
+ </p>
+ <p>To just run a shell on a remote machine, there are functions that bundles the needed
+ three steps needed into one:
+ <seealso marker="#shell/1">shell/1,2,3</seealso>.
+ Similarily, to just open an sftp (file transfer) connection to a remote machine, the simplest way is to use
+ <seealso marker="ssh_sftp#start_channel/1">ssh_sftp:start_channel/1,2,3</seealso>.
+ </p>
+ <p>To write your own client channel handler, use the behaviour
+ <seealso marker="ssh_client_channel">ssh_client_channel</seealso>. For server channel handlers use
+ <seealso marker="ssh_server_channel">ssh_server_channel</seealso> behaviour (replaces ssh_daemon_channel).
+ </p>
+ <p>Both clients and daemons accepts options that controls the exact behaviour. Some options are common to both.
+ The three sets are called
+ <seealso marker="#type-client_options">Client Options</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#type-daemon_options">Daemon Options</seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="#type-common_options">Common Options</seealso>.
+ </p>
+ <p>The descriptions of the options uses the
+ <seealso marker="doc/reference_manual:typespec">Erlang Type Language</seealso> with explaining text.
+ </p>
+ <note>
+ <p>The <seealso marker="users_guide">User's Guide</seealso> has examples and a
+ <seealso marker="using_ssh">Getting Started</seealso>
+ section.
+ </p>
+ </note>
</description>
<section>
- <title>OPTIONS</title>
- <p>The exact behaviour of some functions can be adjusted with the use of options which are documented together
- with the functions. Generally could each option be used at most one time in each function call. If given two or more
- times, the effect is not predictable unless explicitly documented.</p>
- <p>The options are of different kinds:</p>
- <taglist>
- <tag>Limits</tag>
- <item><p>which alters limits in the system, for example number of simultaneous login attempts.</p></item>
-
- <tag>Timeouts</tag>
- <item><p>which give some defined behaviour if too long time elapses before a given event or action,
- for example time to wait for an answer.</p></item>
-
- <tag>Callbacks</tag>
- <item><p>which gives the caller of the function the possibility to execute own code on some events,
- for example calling an own logging function or to perform an own login function</p></item>
-
- <tag>Behaviour</tag>
- <item><p>which changes the systems behaviour.</p></item>
- </taglist>
+ <title>Keys and files</title>
+ <p>A number of objects must be present for the SSH application to work.
+ Thoose objects are per default stored in files.
+ The default names, paths and file formats are the same as for
+ <url href="http://www.openssh.com">OpenSSH</url>. Keys could be generated with the <c>ssh-keygen</c>
+ program from OpenSSH. See the
+ <seealso marker="using_ssh#running-an-erlang-ssh-daemon">User's Guide</seealso>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>The paths could easily be changed by options:
+ <seealso marker="#type-user_dir_common_option"><c>user_dir</c></seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="#type-system_dir_daemon_option"><c>system_dir</c></seealso>.
+ </p>
+ <p>A completly different storage could be interfaced by writing call-back modules
+ using the behaviours
+ <seealso marker="ssh_client_key_api">ssh_client_key_api</seealso> and/or
+ <seealso marker="ssh_server_key_api">ssh_server_key_api</seealso>.
+ A callback module is installed with the option
+ <seealso marker="#type-key_cb_common_option"><c>key_cb</c></seealso>
+ to the client and/or the daemon.
+ </p>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Daemons</title>
+ <p>The keys are by default stored in files:</p>
+ <list>
+ <item>Mandatory: one or more <i>Host key(s)</i>, both private and public. Default is to

+ </list>
+ <p>The host keys directory could be changed with the option
+ <seealso marker="#type-system_dir_daemon_option"><c>system_dir</c></seealso>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>Optional: one or more <i>User's public key</i> in case of <c>publickey</c> authorization.
+ Default is to store them concatenated in the file <c>.ssh/authorized_keys</c> in the user's home directory.
+ <p>The user keys directory could be changed with the option
+ <seealso marker="#type-user_dir_common_option"><c>user_dir</c></seealso>.</p>

+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Clients</title>
+ <p>The keys and some other data are by default stored in files in the directory <c>.ssh</c>

+ <p>The directory could be changed with the option

+ </p>
+ <list>
+ <item>Optional: a list of <i>Host public key(s)</i> for previously connected hosts. This list

+ </note>
+
+ <p>SSH services (clients and servers) are implemented as channels
+ that are multiplexed over an SSH connection and communicates over
+ the <url href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4254.txt"> SSH
+ Connection Protocol</url>. This module provides a callback API
+ that takes care of generic channel aspects for daemons, such as flow control
+ and close messages. It lets the callback functions take care of
+ the service (application) specific parts. This behavior also ensures
+ that the channel process honors the principal of an OTP-process so
+ that it can be part of a supervisor tree. This is a requirement of
+ channel processes implementing a subsystem that will be added to
+ the <c>ssh</c> applications supervisor tree.
+ </p>
+
