int ssh_scp_accept_request ( ssh_scp scp )

Accepts transfer of a file or creation of a directory coming from the remote party.

Parameters:

[in] scp The scp handle.

Returns:: SSH_OK if the message was sent, SSH_ERROR if sending the message failed, or sending it in a bad state.

References ssh_channel_write().

int ssh_scp_deny_request	(	ssh_scp	scp,
		const char *	reason
	)

Deny the transfer of a file or creation of a directory coming from the remote party.

Parameters:

[in]	scp	The scp handle.
[in]	reason	A nul-terminated string with a human-readable explanation of the deny.

Returns:: SSH_OK if the message was sent, SSH_ERROR if the sending the message failed, or sending it in a bad state.

References ssh_channel_write().

int ssh_scp_integer_mode ( const char * mode )

Convert a scp text mode to an integer.

Parameters:

[in] mode The mode to convert, e.g. "0644".

Returns:: An integer value, e.g. 420 for "0644".

Referenced by ssh_scp_pull_request().

int ssh_scp_leave_directory ( ssh_scp scp )

Leave a directory.

Returns:: SSH_OK if the directory has been left,SSH_ERROR if an error occured.

ssh_scp ssh_scp_new	(	ssh_session	session,
		int	mode,
		const char *	location
	)

Create a new scp session.

Parameters:

[in]	session	The SSH session to use.
[in]	mode	One of SSH_SCP_WRITE or SSH_SCP_READ, depending if you need to drop files remotely or read them. It is not possible to combine read and write.
[in]	location	The directory in which write or read will be done. Any push or pull will be relative to this place.

Returns:: A ssh_scp handle, NULL if the creation was impossible.

int ssh_scp_pull_request ( ssh_scp scp )

Wait for a scp request (file, directory).

Returns:: SSH_SCP_REQUEST_NEWFILE: The other side is sending a file SSH_SCP_REQUEST_NEWDIR: The other side is sending a directory SSH_SCP_REQUEST_ENDDIR: The other side has finished with the current directory SSH_SCP_REQUEST_WARNING: The other side sent us a warning SSH_SCP_REQUEST_EOF: The other side finished sending us files and data. SSH_ERROR: Some error happened

int ssh_scp_push_directory	(	ssh_scp	scp,
		const char *	dirname,
		int	mode
	)

Create a directory in a scp in sink mode.

Parameters:

[in]	scp	The scp handle.
[in]	dirname	The name of the directory being created.
[in]	mode	The UNIX permissions for the new directory, e.g. 0755.

Returns:: SSH_OK if the directory has been created, SSH_ERROR if an error occured.

int ssh_scp_push_file	(	ssh_scp	scp,
		const char *	filename,
		size_t	size,
		int	mode
	)

Initialize the sending of a file to a scp in sink mode.

Parameters:

[in]	scp	The scp handle.
[in]	filename	The name of the file being sent. It should not contain any path indicator
[in]	size	Exact size in bytes of the file being sent.
[in]	mode	The UNIX permissions for the new file, e.g. 0644.

Returns:: SSH_OK if the file is ready to be sent, SSH_ERROR if an error occured.

int ssh_scp_read	(	ssh_scp	scp,
		void *	buffer,
		size_t	size
	)

Read from a remote scp file.

Parameters:

[in]	scp	The scp handle.
[in]	buffer	The destination buffer.
[in]	size	The size of the buffer.

Returns:: The nNumber of bytes read, SSH_ERROR if an error occured while reading.

int ssh_scp_read_string	(	ssh_scp	scp,
		char *	buffer,
		size_t	len
	)

Read a string on a channel, terminated by '
'.

Parameters:

[in]	scp	The scp handle.
[out]	buffer	A pointer to a buffer to place the string.
[in]	len	The size of the buffer in bytes. If the string is bigger than len-1, only len-1 bytes are read and the string is null-terminated.

Returns:: SSH_OK if the string was read, SSH_ERROR if an error occured while reading.

const char* ssh_scp_request_get_filename ( ssh_scp scp )

Get the name of the directory or file being pushed from the other party.

Returns:: The file name, NULL on error. The string should not be freed.

int ssh_scp_request_get_permissions ( ssh_scp scp )
