How to send files to remote server via SSH in PHP?

This example describes ‘How to SSH to remote server in PHP and send files from one server to
another server using libssh2.’

ssh2_connect() - Connect to a remote server
ssh2_scp_send() - Send a file via SSH
ssh2_exec() - Execute a command on a remote server

Install libssh2 and then install PECL SSH2 extension for PHP.

Example:
$ip = "192.168.2.101";
$username = "test";
$port = 22;
$public_ssh_key = "/var/www/html/ssh_keys/id_dsa.pub";
$private_ssh_key = "/var/www/html/ssh_keys/id_dsa";

if(function_exists("ssh2_connect")) {
$ssh_conn = ssh2_connect($ip, $port);
if($ssh_conn) {
//Validate your username with ssh keys
if(ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($ssh_conn, $username, $public_ssh_key,
$private_ssh_key, 'secret')) {

// Check file list
$stream = ssh2_exec($ssh_conn, 'ls -l /home/test/');
if($stream) {
stream_set_blocking($stream, true);
while ($buf = fread($stream,4096)) {
flush(); // comment this line
$data.=$buf;
print_r($buf); // comment this line
}
fclose($stream);
}

// send file from one server to another
ssh2_scp_send($ssh_conn, '/path/from/file.ext',
'/home/test/file.ext', 0777);

}
else {
die("SSH validation failed using Username: ".$username." (specify
valid SSH keys or check your SSH key path)");
}
}
else {
die("SSH validation failed for IP: ".$ip);
}
}
else {
die("'ssh2_connect()' doesn't exists. Install libssh2 with PECL SSH2
extension");
}

Other commands:

ssh2_sftp() - Initialize SFTP subsystem
ssh2_sftp_mkdir() - Create directory on remote server
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($ssh_conn);
ssh2_sftp_mkdir($sftp, '/var/www/html/test');

ssh2_auth_password() - Authenticate over SSH using a plain password
ssh2_auth_pubkey_file() - Authenticate using a public key
ssh2_shell() - Request an interactive shell
ssh2_tunnel() - Open a tunnel through a remote server
