It lets you write automated tests that connect to remote machines, execute commands, read and write interactive shell sessions, and transfer files over SFTP\u2014all through Robot Framework's keyword-driven syntax. The library handles connection management and provides low-level keywords that are typically wrapped in higher-level test keywords for clarity.\n\nThe package depends on paramiko for SSH protocol support and scp for file transfers. Installation via pip automatically pulls in these dependencies along with cryptographic libraries. On containerized systems, you must pre-install system build tools. The library supports Python 2.7 and 3.4 or newer, and also runs on Jython 2.7 (with additional JAR setup).","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using Robot Framework for test automation and need SSH/SFTP capabilities. The library is stable (Production/Stable status), permissively licensed, and has no known vulnerabilities. However, the last release was 2021-11-18\u2014check whether your use case aligns with the library's current state despite active repository status. Installation requires system-level build dependencies in containerized environments."},"id":"robotframework-sshlibrary","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-sshlibrary","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-sshlibrary.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/robotframework-sshlibrary/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-11-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"robotframework-sshlibrary","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Robot Framework test library for SSH and SFTP"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":289676,"position":7998,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.8.0"}
