Result

Options

• host - string - Hostname or IP address of the server. Default: 'localhost'

• port - integer - Port number of the server. Default: 22

• user - string - Username for authentication. Default: (root)

• key - string - Required, that contains a private key for either key-based or hostbased user authentication (OpenSSH format). Default: (none)

• pass - string - Password for authentication.

• args - string - SSH parameters for example: -tt.

Password and Private Key can only be configured one item

If you need to add some extra SSH parameters, you can setting the args option.

For example, add -tt parameter to solve: fifsky#4

Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

Tips

If emitting "mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device", You need to modify your Linux files as follows

vim /root/.profile
// Modify the "mesg n || true"  to "tty -s && mesg n || true"
