Requirements

1. PHP 5+
2. CodeIgniter for 2.x
3. ssh2 extension for PHP (which in turn needs libssh2)

Usage

Have a look at application/controllers/sftp_test.php for an example of how to connect to a remote sFTP server, as well as a few demo commands you can run.

libssh2 & ssh2 installation on OSX 10.9

Here's an updated guide to installing this extension on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks).

I'm using the default OSX PHP install (5.4.24) that comes pre-installed. This guide also assumes you're using Homebrew as a package manager, and have wget installed.

This is very similar to the process on this gist.

1. Install libssh2;

brew install libssh2

2. Install ssh2;

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/ssh2-0.11.3.tgz

tar -zxvf ssh2-0.11.3.tgz

cd ssh2-0.11.3

phpize

./configure

make

3. Copy your newly compiled extension (ssh2.so) into your PHP extensions directory.

sudo cp modules/ssh2.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525

4. Add the extension to the php.ini. Just add the following text to the php.ini file;

extension=ssh2.so

6. Restart apache and run php info to see if the extension has been loaded;

php -i | grep ssh2

You should be good to go from here!

The main thing is that libssh2, ssh2 and php are all the same architecture (32 or 64bit).
