A lightweight Promise-based wrapper around the ssh2 library for Node.js, providing a modern async API for SSH connections. It supports command execution and file/directory transfers via SFTP.
Use cases
- run remote commands over ssh from node.js
- upload files to a server via sftp
- download files from a remote host
- recursively transfer directories over ssh
- automate deployment tasks over ssh
- execute commands with stdout/stderr streaming
When to choose
- you want a clean promise-based SSH API in Node.js instead of callback-based ssh2
- you need simple file or directory upload/download over SFTP
- you're scripting remote server automation or deployment in JavaScript
When to avoid
- you need low-level control over SSH channels and streams that raw ssh2 exposes
- you're not using Node.js
- you need SSH features like port forwarding or tunneling not covered by the wrapper
