PySecureShellAutomator was created to simplify the management of remote Unix hosts via SSH.

Born out of a need for an intuitive and versatile solution, this Python library offers a user-friendly interface for executing commands and transferring files securely over SSH It's built on top of the powerful Paramiko library, but provides a more user-friendly, high-level interface for executing commands and transferring files over SSH.

This library is designed with flexibility in mind, catering to a wide range of use cases. Whether you're automating server tasks, deploying applications, managing cloud infrastructure, or developing software that requires remote execution, PySecureShellAutomator is equipped to handle your needs.

Key features of PySecureShellAutomator include:

Easy Connection Management: PySecureShellAutomator simplifies the process of establishing SSH connections, supporting both password-based and key-based authentication methods. It also provides options for setting connection and authentication timeouts, and automatically adding the host to the known hosts file.

Command Execution: PySecureShellAutomator allows you to execute any command on the remote host and retrieve the output and exit code. It provides options for specifying the user that will execute the command, setting a timeout for the command execution, and handling errors.

File Operations: With PySecureShellAutomator, you can easily transfer files to and from the remote host using the SFTP protocol. It provides methods for copying files and handling file transfer errors.

Exception Handling: PySecureShellAutomator provides custom exceptions for handling specific types of errors, such as command execution errors and file transfer errors. This allows you to easily catch and handle errors in your code.

Whether you're developing a deployment script, automating system administration tasks, or building a web application that interacts with remote servers, PySecureShellAutomator provides the tools you need to manage remote systems with ease.
