twisted.conch.ssh.connection.SSHConnection(service.SSHService) class documentation

called when the service is active on the transport.

Called when the connection is stopped.

The other side has made a global request. Payload:

   string  request type
   bool    want reply
   <request specific data>

This dispatches to self.gotGlobalRequest.

Our global request succeeded. Get the appropriate Deferred and call it back with the packet we received.

Our global request failed. Get the appropriate Deferred and errback it with the packet we received.

The other side wants to get a channel. Payload:

   string  channel name
   uint32  remote channel number
   uint32  remote window size
   uint32  remote maximum packet size
   <channel specific data>

We get a channel from self.getChannel(), give it a local channel number and notify the other side. Then notify the channel by calling its channelOpen method.

The other side accepted our MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN request. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number
   uint32  remote channel number
   uint32  remote window size
   uint32  remote maximum packet size
   <channel specific data>

Find the channel using the local channel number and notify its channelOpen method.

The other side did not accept our MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN request. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number
   uint32  reason code
   string  reason description

Find the channel using the local channel number and notify it by calling its openFailed() method.

The other side is adding bytes to its window. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number
   uint32  bytes to add

Call the channel's addWindowBytes() method to add new bytes to the remote window.

The other side is sending us data. Payload:

   uint32 local channel number
   string data

Check to make sure the other side hasn't sent too much data (more than what's in the window, or more than the maximum packet size). If they have, close the channel. Otherwise, decrease the available window and pass the data to the channel's dataReceived().

The other side is sending us exteneded data. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number
   uint32  type code
   string  data

Check to make sure the other side hasn't sent too much data (more than what's in the window, or than the maximum packet size). If they have, close the channel. Otherwise, decrease the available window and pass the data and type code to the channel's extReceived().

The other side is not sending any more data. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number

Notify the channel by calling its eofReceived() method.

The other side is closing its end; it does not want to receive any more data. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number

Notify the channnel by calling its closeReceived() method. If the channel has also sent a close message, call self.channelClosed().

The other side is sending a request to a channel. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number
   string  request name
   bool    want reply
   <request specific data>

Pass the message to the channel's requestReceived method. If the other side wants a reply, add callbacks which will send the reply.

Our channel request to the other side succeeded. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number

Get the Deferred out of self.deferreds and call it back.

Our channel request to the other side failed. Payload:

   uint32  local channel number

Get the Deferred out of self.deferreds and errback it with a error.ConchError.

Send a global request for this connection. Current this is only used for remote->local TCP forwarding.

Open a new channel on this connection.

Send a request to a channel.

Tell the other side that we will receive more data. This should not normally need to be called as it is managed automatically.

Send data to a channel. This should not normally be used: instead use channel.write(data) as it manages the window automatically.

Send extended data to a channel. This should not normally be used: instead use channel.writeExtendedData(data, dataType) as it manages the window automatically.

Send an EOF (End of File) for a channel.

Close a channel.

The other side requested a channel of some sort. channelType is the type of channel being requested, windowSize is the initial size of the remote window, maxPacket is the largest packet we should send, data is any other packet data (often nothing).

We return a subclass of SSHChannel.

By default, this dispatches to a method 'channel_channelType' with any non-alphanumerics in the channelType replace with _'s. If it cannot find a suitable method, it returns an OPEN_UNKNOWN_CHANNEL_TYPE error. The method is called with arguments of windowSize, maxPacket, data.

We got a global request. pretty much, this is just used by the client to request that we forward a port from the server to the client. Returns either:

• 1: request accepted
• 1, <data>: request accepted with request specific data
• 0: request denied

By default, this dispatches to a method 'global_requestType' with -'s in requestType replaced with _'s. The found method is passed data. If this method cannot be found, this method returns 0. Otherwise, it returns the return value of that method.

Called when a channel is closed. It clears the local state related to the channel, and calls channel.closed(). MAKE SURE YOU CALL THIS METHOD, even if you subclass SSHConnection. If you don't, things will break mysteriously.
