Send Method

Sends a string to the server.

Syntax

sshclient.send(dataStr, addEOL, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Use this method to send DataStr to the remote command's stdin channel. Set the AddEOL parameter to true to append the end-of-line character to the string automatically.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block until the whole string is commited to the network connection. In asynchronous mode this method returns immediately; the application is eventually notified that the data has been sent via the DataSent event.
