SSH/SFTP/SCP For Matlab (v2)
Editor's Note: This file was selected as MATLAB Central Pick of the Week
A new Matlab interface for using the Ganymed-SS2 Java library. Renamed commands are improved for limitations of existing Matlab/SSH2 codebase (see inspired submissions) using a straightforward command list.
If you need to access a remote machine from your Matlab session (for near-real time data transfer etc...) this set of functions allows you to send commands and obtain the return values. SFTP and SCP file transfer functions are included. Supports public key authentication and improved multiple command support.
This requires the open-source Ganymed SSH-2 for Java that is freely available and automatically included in the zip file. For SFTP-GET, one must use the included custom Ganymed SSH-2 Java library that is compatible with Matlab.
See ssh2-examples.m for documentation.
FOR SUPPORT, PLEASE CONTACT AUTHOR DIRECTLY instead of posting to "Comments and Ratings" first. Helpful information or comments can be posted after communication to ensure useful information for others instead of a ballooning of failed SSH/SFTP/SCP connection info in the comments.
#1 Problem with connections is software firewall on Matlab machine preventing Java from making connections. If you're able to connect with the same machine, please check for this.
#2 Problem is supported authentication on ssh-server. Please see the Ganymed-SSH2 faq for more information. http://www.ganymed.ethz.ch/ssh2/FAQ.html
Additionally, I would love to hear about how and where you're using this submission in the comments section.
