ssh2_auth_pubkey_file
Due to a lack of complete examples, here's a simple SSH2 class for connecting to a server, authenticating with public key authentication, verifying the server's fingerprint, issuing commands and reading their STDOUT and properly disconnecting. Note: You may need to make sure you commands produce output so the response can be pulled. Some people suggest that the command is not executed until you pull the response back.
<?php
class NiceSSH {
// SSH Host
private $ssh_host = 'myserver.example.com';
// SSH Port
private $ssh_port = 22;
// SSH Server Fingerprint
private $ssh_server_fp = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
// SSH Username

// SSH Public Key File

// SSH Private Key File
private $ssh_auth_priv = '/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa';
// SSH Private Key Passphrase (null == no passphrase)
private $ssh_auth_pass;
// SSH Connection
private $connection;
public function connect() {
if (!($this->connection = ssh2_connect($this->ssh_host, $this->ssh_port))) {
throw new Exception('Cannot connect to server');
}
$fingerprint = ssh2_fingerprint($this->connection, SSH2_FINGERPRINT_MD5 | SSH2_FINGERPRINT_HEX);
if (strcmp($this->ssh_server_fp, $fingerprint) !== 0) {
throw new Exception('Unable to verify server identity!');
}
if (!ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($this->connection, $this->ssh_auth_user, $this->ssh_auth_pub, $this->ssh_auth_priv, $this->ssh_auth_pass)) {
throw new Exception('Autentication rejected by server');
}
}

if (!($stream = ssh2_exec($this->connection, $cmd))) {
throw new Exception('SSH command failed');
}

(PECL ssh2 >= 0.9.0)
ssh2_connect — Connect to an SSH server
Description
resource ssh2_connect
( string
$host
[, int $port = 22
[, array $methods
[, array $callbacks
]]] )Establish a connection to a remote SSH server.
Once connected, the client should verify the server's hostkey using ssh2_fingerprint(), then authenticate using either password or public key.
Parameters
-
host -
-
port -
-
methods -
methodsmay be an associative array with up to four parameters as described below.methodsmay be an associative array with any or all of the following parameters.Index Meaning Supported Values* kex List of key exchange methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1, and diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 hostkey List of hostkey methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. ssh-rsa and ssh-dss client_to_server Associative array containing crypt, compression, and message authentication code (MAC) method preferences for messages sent from client to server. server_to_client Associative array containing crypt, compression, and message authentication code (MAC) method preferences for messages sent from server to client. * - Supported Values are dependent on methods supported by underlying library. See » libssh2 documentation for additional information.
client_to_serverandserver_to_clientmay be an associative array with any or all of the following parameters.Index Meaning Supported Values* crypt List of crypto methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se, aes256-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes128-cbc, 3des-cbc, blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, arcfour, and none** comp List of compression methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. zlib and none mac List of MAC methods to advertise, comma separated in order of preference. hmac-sha1, hmac-sha1-96, hmac-ripemd160, hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com, and none** Note: Crypt and MAC method "none"
For security reasons, none is disabled by the underlying » libssh2 library unless explicitly enabled during build time by using the appropriate ./configure options. See documentation for the underlying library for more information.
-
callbacks -
callbacksmay be an associative array with any or all of the following parameters.Callbacks parameters Index Meaning Prototype ignore Name of function to call when an SSH2_MSG_IGNOREpacket is receivedvoid ignore_cb($message) debug Name of function to call when an SSH2_MSG_DEBUGpacket is receivedvoid debug_cb($message, $language, $always_display) macerror Name of function to call when a packet is received but the message authentication code failed. If the callback returns TRUE, the mismatch will be ignored, otherwise the connection will be terminated.bool macerror_cb($packet) disconnect Name of function to call when an SSH2_MSG_DISCONNECTpacket is receivedvoid disconnect_cb($reason, $message, $language)
Return Values
Returns a resource on success, or FALSE on error.
Examples
Example #1 ssh2_connect() example
Open a connection forcing 3des-cbc when sending packets, any strength aes cipher when receiving packets, no compression in either direction, and Group1 key exchange.
<?php
/* Notify the user if the server terminates the connection */
function my_ssh_disconnect($reason, $message, $language) {
printf("Server disconnected with reason code [%d] and message: %s\n",
$reason, $message);
}
$methods = array(
'kex' => 'diffie-hellman-group1-sha1',
'client_to_server' => array(
'crypt' => '3des-cbc',
'comp' => 'none'),
'server_to_client' => array(
'crypt' => 'aes256-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes128-cbc',
'comp' => 'none'));
$callbacks = array('disconnect' => 'my_ssh_disconnect');
$connection = ssh2_connect('shell.example.com', 22, $methods, $callbacks);
if (!$connection) die('Connection failed');

With Sara's help, I have the following SS2 class that is quite flexible. If anyone improves it, please feel free to let me know.
<?php
// ssh protocols
// note: once openShell method is used, cmdExec does not work
class ssh2 {
private $host = 'host';
private $user = 'user';

private $con = null;

private $log = '';
function __construct($host='', $port='' ) {
if( $host!='' ) $this->host = $host;
if( $port!='' ) $this->port = $port;
$this->con = ssh2_connect($this->host, $this->port);
if( !$this->con ) {
$this->log .= "Connection failed !";
}
}
function authPassword( $user = '', $password = '' ) {
if( $user!='' ) $this->user = $user;
if( $password!='' ) $this->password = $password;
if( !ssh2_auth_password( $this->con, $this->user, $this->password ) ) {
$this->log .= "Authorization failed !";
}
}
function openShell( $shell_type = '' ) {
if ( $shell_type != '' ) $this->shell_type = $shell_type;
$this->shell = ssh2_shell( $this->con, $this->shell_type );
if( !$this->shell ) $this->log .= " Shell connection failed !";
}
function writeShell( $command = '' ) {
fwrite($this->shell, $command."\n");
}
function cmdExec( ) {
$argc = func_num_args();
$argv = func_get_args();
$cmd = '';
