Linux Support?

[W2NJL]

Thank you for the hard work keeping this package alive!

I'm just wondering if there is any possibility to get this to function with Linux/Ubuntu command line in the future? OR, if there might be a way to get it to work as-is that I am not thinking of?

I'm glad to contribute back to the community!

This is what I do in my app currently for macOS and Linux:

processResult =  await Process.run('ssh', ["$username@$address", executeCommand]);
print('stdout: ${processResult.stdout}');

This works well for executing commands with key based auth.

Thank you!! Very, very dumb question - how would you include the key in this sequence (I'm trying to connect into an Azure VM that requires a public key for SSH Auth)? Thank you much, have a great Labor Day!

If you've already generated a key in ~/.ssh/ it will work without changes. You can use the -i flag to specify a file as well. From the ssh man page:

 -i identity_file
         Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for public key authentication is read.  The default is ~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 and
         ~/.ssh/id_rsa.  Identity files may also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.  It is possible to have multiple -i options (and multiple
         identities specified in configuration files).  If no certificates have been explicitly specified by the CertificateFile directive, ssh will also try to load cer-
         tificate information from the filename obtained by appending -cert.pub to identity filenames.

If you're thinking about passing a string, I'd stay away from that. It's better to write a temporary file with proper permissions. There's more discussion about that here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12041688/specify-private-key-in-ssh-as-string

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend! I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, and we have Jeûne genevois this week.
