HOW TO RUN THE EXAMPLES ?

You have to edit the file example.inc.php ; it contains variables that you MUST set to your own configuration needs before running the examples :

• $host : Host name or IP address of your remote server.
• port : Port number of the sshd server on your remote system (usually, 22).
• $user : the user you want to connect to on your remote system.
• $password : User password (set this variable if you want to run the example.password.php script, which uses password-based authentication)
• $private\_key\_file, $public\_key\_file : Paths to the files containing your private and public ssh keys (set these variables if you want to run the example.key.php script, which uses ssh key-based authentication)

PREREQUISITES

• Your remote system MUST be a Unix system for the examples to run as is

• If you used puttygen to generate your public and private keys, you have to know that the key that is labelled :

  Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file

will not have the correct format for using it as a public key on Unix systems. You will have to go to the Conversions menu and chose the "Export OpenSSH key" option.

• On your remote Unix system, you must add your public key in the .ssh/authorized_keys file of your remote user
• And, of course, you must have an sshd server up and running on your remote system !
