Bindings to the libssh2 library which
provide access to resources (shell, remote exec, tunneling, file transfer)
on a remote machine using a secure cryptographic transport.
Windows binaries may be found at
http://snaps.php.net/.
To install, download php_ssh2.dll to the folder specified
by your php.ini file's extension_dir directive.
Enable it by adding extension=php_ssh2.dll
to your php.ini and restarting your webserver.
Linux, BSD, and other *nix variants
can be compiled using the following steps:
Download and install OpenSSL.
If you install OpenSSL via your distribution's packaging system
be sure to install the development libraries as well.
This will typically be a package named openssl-dev,
openssl_devel, or some variation thereof.
Download and install libssh2.
Typically this means executing the following command from
the libssh2 source tree. ./configure && make all install.
Run the pear installer for PECL/ssh2: pear install ssh2
Copy ssh2.so from the directory indicated by the
build process to the location specified in your php.ini file under
extension_dir.
Add extension=ssh2.so to your php.ini
Restart your webserver to reload your php.ini settings.
Development Versions:
There are currently no stable versions of PECL/ssh2,
to force installation of the beta version of PECL/ssh2
execute: pear install ssh2-beta
Compiling PECL/ssh2 without using the PEAR command:
Rather than using pear install ssh2 to automatically
download and install PECL/ssh2, you may download the tarball from
PECL.
From the root of the unpacked tarball, run:
phpize && ./configure --with-ssh2 && make
to generate ssh2.so.
Once built, continue the installation from step 4 above.
Additional information such as new releases,
downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be
located here:

Note:
You will need version 0.4 or greater of the libssh2 library
(possibly higher, see release notes).
The constants below are defined by this extension, and
will only be available when the extension has either
been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.
