As of v1.0.5, all gem releases are signed. See INSTALL.
Net::SCP is a pure-Ruby implementation of the SCP protocol. This operates over SSH (and requires the Net::SSH library), and allows files and directory trees to copied to and from a remote server.
-
Transfer files or entire directory trees to or from a remote host via SCP
-
Can preserve file attributes across transfers
-
Can download files in-memory, or direct-to-disk
-
Support for SCP URI’s, and OpenURI
In a nutshell:
require 'net/scp' # upload a file to a remote server Net::SCP.upload!("remote.host.com", "username", "/local/path", "/remote/path", :ssh => { :password => "password" }) # download a file from a remote server Net::SCP.download!("remote.host.com", "username", "/remote/path", "/local/path", :ssh => { :password => "password" }) # download a file to an in-memory buffer data = Net::SCP::download!("remote.host.com", "username", "/remote/path") # use a persistent connection to transfer files Net::SCP.start("remote.host.com", "username", :ssh => { :password => "password" }) do |scp| # upload a file to a remote server scp.upload! "/local/path", "/remote/path" # upload from an in-memory buffer scp.upload! StringIO.new("some data to upload"), "/remote/path" # run multiple downloads in parallel d1 = scp.download("/remote/path", "/local/path") d2 = scp.download("/remote/path2", "/local/path2") [d1, d2].each { |d| d.wait } end # You can also use open-uri to grab data via scp: require 'uri/open-scp' data = open("scp://user@host/path/to/file.txt").read

Net::SSH 2
If you wish to run the tests, you’ll also need:
-
Echoe (for Rakefile use)
-
Mocha (for tests)
-
gem install net-scp (might need sudo privileges)
However, in order to be sure the code you’re installing hasn’t been tampered with, it’s recommended that you verify the signiture. To do this, you need to add my public key as a trusted certificate (you only need to do this once):
# Add the public key as a trusted certificate # (You only need to do this once) $ curl -O https://raw.github.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/master/gem-public_cert.pem $ gem cert --add gem-public_cert.pem
Then, when install the gem, do so with high security:
$ gem install net-scp -P HighSecurity
If you don’t add the public key, you’ll see an error like “Couldn’t verify data signature”. If you’re still having trouble let me know and I’ll give you a hand.
Or, you can do it the hard way (without Rubygems):
-
tar xzf net-scp-*.tgz
-
cd net-scp-*
-
ruby setup.rb config
-
ruby setup.rb install (might need sudo privileges)
