Node SSHProxy

Warning: this requires some setup + telnet fiddling to run. A SSH proxy for basic SSH commands via the browser. Note: this is part of another larger project I'm working on, this code is extremely simple at the moment.

1. Run the Server

node sshserver.js

2. Prepare it

You'll need to telnet localhost:9002 (port defined on line #75) and send only a JSON string with your request, eg:

{"interactive":false,"commands":["top -b -n 1","vzctl stop 2949"],"user":{"id":1,"key":"xyz"},"server":{"host":"vps","port":22,"user":"root","key":"/Users/Fizzadar/.ssh/id_rsa","password":"nothing"}}

The idea being that your server-side code would normally do this for you (you'll see the code calls this server a Nginx listen server). After you run this you'll be given a key and disconnected.

3. To the Browser

Take that key, load up socket.html in your browser and open up the javascript console. Run the test function with your key:

test( 'KEY' );

If done correctly you should see "ACCEPTED" and the output of the SSH commands. You can watch the request be processed in the node output.
