This means that most of the keywords only affect the active connection. Active connection can be changed with <a href=\"#Switch%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Switch Connection\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<h2 id=\"Configuration\">Configuration\x3c/h2>\n<p>Default settings for all the upcoming connections can be configured on <a href=\"#Importing\" class=\"name\">library importing\x3c/a> or later with <a href=\"#Set%20Default%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Default Configuration\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p>Using <a href=\"#Set%20Default%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Default Configuration\x3c/a> does not affect the already open connections. Settings of the current connection can be configured with <a href=\"#Set%20Client%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Client Configuration\x3c/a>. Settings of another, non-active connection, can be configured by first using <a href=\"#Switch%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Switch Connection\x3c/a> and then <a href=\"#Set%20Client%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Client Configuration\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p>Most of the defaults can be overridden per connection by defining them as arguments to <a href=\"#Open%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Open Connection\x3c/a>.

In addition to that, <a href=\"#Login\" class=\"name\">Login\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Login%20With%20Public%20Key\" class=\"name\">Login With Public Key\x3c/a> can read the server output more efficiently when the prompt is set.\x3c/p>\n<p>Prompt can be specified either as a normal string or as a regular expression. The latter is especially useful if the prompt changes as a result of the executed commands. Prompt can be set to be a regular expression by giving the prompt argument a value starting with <code>REGEXP:\x3c/code> followed by the actual regular expression like <code>prompt=REGEXP:[$#]\x3c/code>. See the <a href=\"#Regular%20expressions\" class=\"name\">Regular expressions\x3c/a> section for more details about the syntax.\x3c/p>\n<p>The support for regular expressions is new in SSHLibrary 3.0.0.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Encoding\">Encoding\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>encoding\x3c/code> defines the <a href=\"https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings\">character encoding\x3c/a> of input and output sequences. The default encoding is UTF-8.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Path separator\">Path separator\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>path_separator\x3c/code> must be set to the one known by the operating system and the SSH server on the remote machine. The path separator is used by keywords <a href=\"#Get%20File\" class=\"name\">Get File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Put%20File\" class=\"name\">Put File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Get%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Get Directory\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Put%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Put Directory\x3c/a> for joining paths correctly on the remote host.\x3c/p>\n<p>The default path separator is forward slash <code>/\x3c/code> which works on Unix-like machines. On Windows the path separator to use depends on the SSH server. Some servers use forward slash and others backslash, and users need to configure the <code>path_separator\x3c/code> accordingly. Notice that using a backslash in Robot Framework test data requires doubling it like <code>\\\\\x3c/code>.\x3c/p>\n<p>The path separator can be configured on <a href=\"#Importing\" class=\"name\">library importing\x3c/a> or later, using <a href=\"#Set%20Default%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Default Configuration\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Set%20Client%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Client Configuration\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Open%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Open Connection\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Timeout\">Timeout\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>timeout\x3c/code> is used by <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a> variants. The default value is <code>3 seconds\x3c/code>. See <a href=\"#Time%20format\" class=\"name\">time format\x3c/a> below for supported timeout syntax.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Newline\">Newline\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>newline\x3c/code> is the line break sequence used by <a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a> keyword and must be set according to the operating system on the remote machine. The default value is <code>LF\x3c/code> (same as <code>\\n\x3c/code>) which is used on Unix-like operating systems. With Windows remote machines, you need to set this to <code>CRLF\x3c/code> (<code>\\r\\n\x3c/code>).\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Terminal settings\">Terminal settings\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>term_type\x3c/code> defines the virtual terminal type, and arguments <code>width\x3c/code> and <code>height\x3c/code> can be used to control its  virtual size.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Escape ansi sequneces\">Escape ansi sequneces\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>escape_ansi\x3c/code> is a parameter used in order to escape ansi sequences that appear in the output when the remote machine has Windows as operating system.\x3c/p>\n<h3 id=\"Not configurable per connection\">Not configurable per connection\x3c/h3>\n<h4 id=\"Loglevel\">Loglevel\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>loglevel\x3c/code> sets the log level used to log the output read by <a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Prompt\" class=\"name\">Read Until Prompt\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Regexp\" class=\"name\">Read Until Regexp\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Until%20Expected%20Output\" class=\"name\">Write Until Expected Output\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Login\" class=\"name\">Login\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Login%20With%20Public%20Key\" class=\"name\">Login With Public Key\x3c/a>. The default level is <code>INFO\x3c/code>.\x3c/p>\n<p><code>loglevel\x3c/code> is not configurable per connection but can be overridden by passing it as an argument to the most of the aforementioned keywords. Possible argument values are <code>TRACE\x3c/code>, <code>DEBUG\x3c/code>, <code>INFO\x3c/code>, <code>WARN\x3c/code> and <code>NONE\x3c/code> (no logging).\x3c/p>\n<h2 id=\"Executing commands\">Executing commands\x3c/h2>\n<p>For executing commands on the remote machine, there are two possibilities:\x3c/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Execute%20Command\" class=\"name\">Execute Command\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Start%20Command\" class=\"name\">Start Command\x3c/a>. The command is executed in a new shell on the remote machine, which means that possible changes to the environment (e.g. changing working directory, setting environment variables, etc.) are not visible to the subsequent keywords.\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Bare\" class=\"name\">Write Bare\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Until%20Expected%20Output\" class=\"name\">Write Until Expected Output\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Prompt\" class=\"name\">Read Until Prompt\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Regexp\" class=\"name\">Read Until Regexp\x3c/a>. These keywords operate in an interactive shell, which means that changes to the environment are visible to the subsequent keywords.\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n<h2 id=\"Interactive shells\">Interactive shells\x3c/h2>\n<p><a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Bare\" class=\"name\">Write Bare\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Until%20Expected%20Output\" class=\"name\">Write Until Expected Output\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Prompt\" class=\"name\">Read Until Prompt\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Regexp\" class=\"name\">Read Until Regexp\x3c/a> can be used to interact with the server within the same shell.\x3c/p>\n<h3 id=\"Consumed output\">Consumed output\x3c/h3>\n<p>All of these keywords, except <a href=\"#Write%20Bare\" class=\"name\">Write Bare\x3c/a>, consume the read or the written text from the server output before returning. In practice this means that the text is removed from the server output, i.e. subsequent calls to <a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a> keywords do not return text that was already read. This is illustrated by the example below.\x3c/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a>\x3c/td>\n<td>echo hello\x3c/td>\n<td>\x3c/td>\n<td># Consumes written <code>echo hello\x3c/code>\x3c/td>\n\x3c/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>${stdout}=\x3c/td>\n<td><a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a>\x3c/td>\n<td>hello\x3c/td>\n<td># Consumes read <code>hello\x3c/code> and everything before it\x3c/td>\n\x3c/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"name\">Should Contain\x3c/span>\x3c/td>\n<td>${stdout}\x3c/td>\n<td>hello\x3c/td>\n<td>\x3c/td>\n\x3c/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>${stdout}=\x3c/td>\n<td><a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a>\x3c/td>\n<td>\x3c/td>\n<td># Consumes everything available\x3c/td>\n\x3c/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"name\">Should Not Contain\x3c/span>\x3c/td>\n<td>${stdout}\x3c/td>\n<td>hello\x3c/td>\n<td># <code>hello\x3c/code> was already consumed earlier\x3c/td>\n\x3c/tr>\n\x3c/table>\n<p>The consumed text is logged by the keywords and their argument <code>loglevel\x3c/code> can be used to override the default <a href=\"#Loglevel\" class=\"name\">log level\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p><a href=\"#Login\" class=\"name\">Login\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Login%20With%20Public%20Key\" class=\"name\">Login With Public Key\x3c/a> consume everything on the server output or if the <a href=\"#Prompt\" class=\"name\">prompt\x3c/a> is set, everything until the prompt.\x3c/p>\n<h3 id=\"Reading\">Reading\x3c/h3>\n<p><a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Prompt\" class=\"name\">Read Until Prompt\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Regexp\" class=\"name\">Read Until Regexp\x3c/a> can be used to read from the server.

This library uses Python's regular expressions, which are introduced in the <a href=\"https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html\">Regular Expression HOWTO\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p>Remember that in Robot Framework data the backslash that is used a lot in regular expressions is an escape character and needs to be doubled to get a literal backslash. For example, <code>\\\\d\\\\d\\\\s\x3c/code> matches two digits followed by a whitespace character.\x3c/p>\n<p>Possible flags altering how the expression is parsed (e.g. <code>re.IGNORECASE\x3c/code>, <code>re.MULTILINE\x3c/code>) can be set by prefixing the pattern with the <code>(?iLmsux)\x3c/code> group. The available flags are <code>IGNORECASE\x3c/code>: <code>i\x3c/code>, <code>MULTILINE\x3c/code>: <code>m\x3c/code>, <code>DOTALL\x3c/code>: <code>s\x3c/code>, <code>VERBOSE\x3c/code>: <code>x\x3c/code>, <code>UNICODE\x3c/code>: <code>u\x3c/code>, and <code>LOCALE\x3c/code>: <code>L\x3c/code>. For example, <code>(?is)pat.ern\x3c/code> uses <code>IGNORECASE\x3c/code> and <code>DOTALL\x3c/code> flags.\x3c/p>\n<h2 id=\"Example\">Example\x3c/h2>\n<pre>\n<b>***\x3c/b> Settings <b>***\x3c/b>\nDocumentation          This example demonstrates executing commands on a remote machine\n...                    and getting their output and the return code.\n...\n...

It is based on SSH protocol. The advantage it brings over SFTP is transfer speed. SFTP however can also be used for directory listings and even editing files while transferring. SCP can be enabled on keywords used for file transfer: <a href=\"#Get%20File\" class=\"name\">Get File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Get%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Get Directory\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Put%20File\" class=\"name\">Put File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Put%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Put Directory\x3c/a> by setting the <code>scp\x3c/code> value to <code>TRANSFER\x3c/code> or <code>ALL\x3c/code>.\x3c/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tr>\n<td>OFF\x3c/td>\n<td>Transfer is done using SFTP only.

For more information about Robot Framework, see <a href=\"http://robotframework.org\">http://robotframework.org\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p>The library has the following main usages:\x3c/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Executing commands on the remote machine, either with blocking or non-blocking behaviour (see <a href=\"#Execute%20Command\" class=\"name\">Execute Command\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Start%20Command\" class=\"name\">Start Command\x3c/a>, respectively).\x3c/li>\n<li>Writing and reading in an interactive shell (e.g. <a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a>).\x3c/li>\n<li>Transferring files and directories over SFTP (e.g. <a href=\"#Get%20File\" class=\"name\">Get File\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Put%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Put Directory\x3c/a>).\x3c/li>\n<li>Ensuring that files or directories exist on the remote machine (e.g. <a href=\"#File%20Should%20Exist\" class=\"name\">File Should Exist\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Directory%20Should%20Not%20Exist\" class=\"name\">Directory Should Not Exist\x3c/a>).\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n<p>This library works both with Python and Jython, but uses different SSH modules internally depending on the interpreter. See <a href=\"http://robotframework.org/SSHLibrary/#installation\">installation instructions\x3c/a> for more details about the dependencies. IronPython is unfortunately not supported.

New connections are opened with <a href=\"#Open%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Open Connection\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p>Login into the host is done either with username and password (<a href=\"#Login\" class=\"name\">Login\x3c/a>) or with public/private key pair (<a href=\"#Login%20With%20Public%20Key\" class=\"name\">Login With Public key\x3c/a>).\x3c/p>\n<p>Only one connection can be active at a time. This means that most of the keywords only affect the active connection.

Settings of the current connection can be configured with <a href=\"#Set%20Client%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Client Configuration\x3c/a>. Settings of another, non-active connection, can be configured by first using <a href=\"#Switch%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Switch Connection\x3c/a> and then <a href=\"#Set%20Client%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Client Configuration\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p>Most of the defaults can be overridden per connection by defining them as arguments to <a href=\"#Open%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Open Connection\x3c/a>.

In addition to that, <a href=\"#Login\" class=\"name\">Login\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Login%20With%20Public%20Key\" class=\"name\">Login With Public Key\x3c/a> can read the server output more efficiently when the prompt is set.\x3c/p>\n<p>Prompt can be specified either as a normal string or as a regular expression. The latter is especially useful if the prompt changes as a result of the executed commands. Prompt can be set to be a regular expression by giving the prompt argument a value starting with <code>REGEXP:\x3c/code> followed by the actual regular expression like <code>prompt=REGEXP:[$#]\x3c/code>. See the <a href=\"#Regular%20expressions\" class=\"name\">Regular expressions\x3c/a> section for more details about the syntax.\x3c/p>\n<p>The support for regular expressions is new in SSHLibrary 3.0.0.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Encoding\">Encoding\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>encoding\x3c/code> defines the <a href=\"https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings\">character encoding\x3c/a> of input and output sequences. The default encoding is UTF-8.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Path separator\">Path separator\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>path_separator\x3c/code> must be set to the one known by the operating system and the SSH server on the remote machine. The path separator is used by keywords <a href=\"#Get%20File\" class=\"name\">Get File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Put%20File\" class=\"name\">Put File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Get%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Get Directory\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Put%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Put Directory\x3c/a> for joining paths correctly on the remote host.\x3c/p>\n<p>The default path separator is forward slash <code>/\x3c/code> which works on Unix-like machines. On Windows the path separator to use depends on the SSH server. Some servers use forward slash and others backslash, and users need to configure the <code>path_separator\x3c/code> accordingly. Notice that using a backslash in Robot Framework test data requires doubling it like <code>\\\\\x3c/code>.\x3c/p>\n<p>The path separator can be configured on <a href=\"#Importing\" class=\"name\">library importing\x3c/a> or later, using <a href=\"#Set%20Default%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Default Configuration\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Set%20Client%20Configuration\" class=\"name\">Set Client Configuration\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Open%20Connection\" class=\"name\">Open Connection\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Timeout\">Timeout\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>timeout\x3c/code> is used by <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a> variants.

The default value is <code>LF\x3c/code> (same as <code>\\n\x3c/code>) which is used on Unix-like operating systems. With Windows remote machines, you need to set this to <code>CRLF\x3c/code> (<code>\\r\\n\x3c/code>).\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Terminal settings\">Terminal settings\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>term_type\x3c/code> defines the virtual terminal type, and arguments <code>width\x3c/code> and <code>height\x3c/code> can be used to control its  virtual size.\x3c/p>\n<h4 id=\"Escape ansi sequneces\">Escape ansi sequneces\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>escape_ansi\x3c/code> is a parameter used in order to escape ansi sequences that appear in the output when the remote machine has Windows as operating system.\x3c/p>\n<h3 id=\"Not configurable per connection\">Not configurable per connection\x3c/h3>\n<h4 id=\"Loglevel\">Loglevel\x3c/h4>\n<p>Argument <code>loglevel\x3c/code> sets the log level used to log the output read by <a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Prompt\" class=\"name\">Read Until Prompt\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Regexp\" class=\"name\">Read Until Regexp\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Until%20Expected%20Output\" class=\"name\">Write Until Expected Output\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Login\" class=\"name\">Login\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Login%20With%20Public%20Key\" class=\"name\">Login With Public Key\x3c/a>. The default level is <code>INFO\x3c/code>.\x3c/p>\n<p><code>loglevel\x3c/code> is not configurable per connection but can be overridden by passing it as an argument to the most of the aforementioned keywords. Possible argument values are <code>TRACE\x3c/code>, <code>DEBUG\x3c/code>, <code>INFO\x3c/code>, <code>WARN\x3c/code> and <code>NONE\x3c/code> (no logging).\x3c/p>\n<h2 id=\"Executing commands\">Executing commands\x3c/h2>\n<p>For executing commands on the remote machine, there are two possibilities:\x3c/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Execute%20Command\" class=\"name\">Execute Command\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Start%20Command\" class=\"name\">Start Command\x3c/a>. The command is executed in a new shell on the remote machine, which means that possible changes to the environment (e.g. changing working directory, setting environment variables, etc.) are not visible to the subsequent keywords.\x3c/li>\n\x3c/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Write\" class=\"name\">Write\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Bare\" class=\"name\">Write Bare\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Write%20Until%20Expected%20Output\" class=\"name\">Write Until Expected Output\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read\" class=\"name\">Read\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until\" class=\"name\">Read Until\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Prompt\" class=\"name\">Read Until Prompt\x3c/a> and <a href=\"#Read%20Until%20Regexp\" class=\"name\">Read Until Regexp\x3c/a>.

This library uses Python's regular expressions, which are introduced in the <a href=\"https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html\">Regular Expression HOWTO\x3c/a>.\x3c/p>\n<p>Remember that in Robot Framework data the backslash that is used a lot in regular expressions is an escape character and needs to be doubled to get a literal backslash. For example, <code>\\\\d\\\\d\\\\s\x3c/code> matches two digits followed by a whitespace character.\x3c/p>\n<p>Possible flags altering how the expression is parsed (e.g. <code>re.IGNORECASE\x3c/code>, <code>re.MULTILINE\x3c/code>) can be set by prefixing the pattern with the <code>(?iLmsux)\x3c/code> group. The available flags are <code>IGNORECASE\x3c/code>: <code>i\x3c/code>, <code>MULTILINE\x3c/code>: <code>m\x3c/code>, <code>DOTALL\x3c/code>: <code>s\x3c/code>, <code>VERBOSE\x3c/code>: <code>x\x3c/code>, <code>UNICODE\x3c/code>: <code>u\x3c/code>, and <code>LOCALE\x3c/code>: <code>L\x3c/code>.

It is based on SSH protocol. The advantage it brings over SFTP is transfer speed. SFTP however can also be used for directory listings and even editing files while transferring. SCP can be enabled on keywords used for file transfer: <a href=\"#Get%20File\" class=\"name\">Get File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Get%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Get Directory\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Put%20File\" class=\"name\">Put File\x3c/a>, <a href=\"#Put%20Directory\" class=\"name\">Put Directory\x3c/a> by setting the <code>scp\x3c/code> value to <code>TRANSFER\x3c/code> or <code>ALL\x3c/code>.\x3c/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tr>\n<td>OFF\x3c/td>\n<td>Transfer is done using SFTP only.
