This package makes it very easy to copy files over scp in Go. It uses the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package to establish a secure connection to a remote server in order to copy the files via the SCP protocol.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/bramvdbogaerde/go-scp"
"github.com/bramvdbogaerde/go-scp/auth"
"golang.org/x/crypto/ssh"
"os"
)
func main() {
// Use SSH key authentication from the auth package
// we ignore the host key in this example, please change this if you use this library
clientConfig, _ := auth.PrivateKey("username", "/path/to/rsa/key", ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey())
// For other authentication methods see ssh.ClientConfig and ssh.AuthMethod
// Create a new SCP client
client := scp.NewClient("example.com:22", &clientConfig)
// Connect to the remote server
err := client.Connect()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Couldn't establisch a connection to the remote server ", err)
return
}
// Open a file
f, _ := os.Open("/path/to/local/file")
// Close client connection after the file has been copied
defer client.Close()
// Close the file after it has been copied
defer f.Close()
// Finaly, copy the file over
// Usage: CopyFile(fileReader, remotePath, permission)
err = client.CopyFile(f, "/home/server/test.txt", "0655")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while copying file ", err)
}
