Remarks

The SFTPServer class provides a simple way to create a SFTP server. Any SFTP client will be able to connect and transfer files to and from the server.

Getting Started

To begin, first provide a valid certificate with private key in the SSHCert property.

Optionally set the RootDirectory property to a valid local path. If this property is set the class will serve files from this location and when clients connect they will see this as their initial directory. If this property is not set then the class will fire events allowing customized responses for each operation.

To start the server set Listening to true.

Client Authentication

Client authentication is handled through the SSHUserAuthRequest event. Inside this event, the Accept parameter determines whether authentication is accepted; this parameter should be set to True if a successful authentication is detected and False otherwise.

When a client connects, the AuthMethod parameter indicates the method of authentication the client wishes to use. Connecting clients will initially attempt authentication with an AuthMethod of "none". This is done with the expectation that the request will fail and the server will provide a list of support authentication methods. The client then selects an available method and re-authenticates. If AuthMethod is "none", Accept should be set to False.

For password authentication, the User parameter will hold the client's username and the AuthParam parameter will hold the password provided by the client. An external list of known usernames and passwords should be maintained to check these values against.

For publickey authentication, the User parameter will hold the client's username and the AuthParam parameter will hold the key provided by the client. This key should be compared to and external list of known keys and usernames.

For keyboard-interactive authentication, the SSHUserAuthRequest event will fire multiple times; once for each prompt and response sent by the client. The index of the response is specified as a suffix in the AuthMethod parameter (e.g. keyboard-interactive-1, keyboard-interactive-2, etc), and AuthParam will contain the client's response to the prompt. Finally, SSHUserAuthRequest will fire one last time with AuthMethod set to "keyboard-interactive" and AuthParam set to an empty string. The Accept parameter must be set to True each time the event fires in order for the authentication process to succeed.

Directory Listing

When a client requests a directory listing, the DirList event fires with the Path parameter set to the directory to enumerate. If the directory listing is allowed, the appropriate set of files should be passed to the SetFileList method. The StatusCode parameter should be set according to the status of the operation, and the valid status codes can be found in the documentation for the DirList event.

Handling Events

Event handlers are the primary method of customizing the class's functionality. When a client attempts to connect, open a file, authenticate to the server, etc, the corresponding SFTPServer event will fire to allow for custom handling of the client's request.

The following events are fired both before and after the requested operation is executed:

• DirCreate
• DirList
• DirRemove
• FileOpen
• FileRemove
• FileRename
• FileWrite
• SetAttributes

Each of these events has a BeforeExec event parameter that is True when the event is fired before execution of the operation, and False after execution of the operation. Handling the event before execution provides an opportunity to use custom logic to determine whether the operation should be denied, diverted, or otherwise modified. Handling the event after execution provides an opportunity to report success or any errors related to the operation to the client.

The following events are fired only after the requested operation is executed:

• FileClose
• FileRead
• GetAttributes
• ResolvePath

Any logic to deny opening a file for read or write should be done in the FileOpen event handler.

Note: Server components are designed to process events as they occur. To ensure that events are processed in a timely manner, DoEvents should be called in a loop after the server is started.

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with an 'WOULDBLOCK' error if data can't be sent or received immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will automatically retry each operation that would otherwise result in a 'WOULDBLOCK' error for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 0 (asynchronous operation).

The $connectionid parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the SFTPConnectionCount property.

The $promptindex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the KeyboardInteractivePromptCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Listening Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

If set to True, the class accepts incoming connections on LocalPort.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getListening();


public function setListening($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 18 );


ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 18, $value );

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property indicates whether the class is listening for connections on the port specified by the LocalPort property.

Note: Use the StartListening and StopListening methods to control whether the class is listening.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean

LocalHost Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getLocalHost();


public function setLocalHost($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 19 );


ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 19, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Data Type

String

LocalPort Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

The TCP port in the local host where the class listens.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getLocalPort();


public function setLocalPort($value);

ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 20, $value );

Default Value

22

Remarks

The LocalPort property must be set before TCPServer starts listening. If its value is 0, then the TCP/IP subsystem picks a port number at random. The port number can be found by checking the value of the LocalPort property after TCPServer is in listening mode (after successfully assigning True to the Listening property).

The service port is not shared among servers (i.e. there can be only one TCPServer 'listening' on a particular port at one time).

Data Type

Integer

RootDirectory Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

The root directory for the entire SFTP server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getRootDirectory();


public function setRootDirectory($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 21 );


ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 21, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

RootDirectory specifies the root of the SFTP server ('/'). If a value is provided, the class will handle all requests by doing all file operations itself, but the events will still give you the opportunity to override the default values/operations as necessary.

If a value is not provided, all events must be handled appropriately to ensure correct operation.

Data Type

String

SSHCertEncoded Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).

Object Oriented Interface

public function getSSHCertEncoded();


public function setSSHCertEncoded($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 23 );


ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 23, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSHCertStore and SSHCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSHCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSHCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSHCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSHCertSubject is set to an empty string.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Binary String

SSHCertStore Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getSSHCertStore();


public function setSSHCertStore($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 39 );


ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 39, $value );

Default Value

'MY'

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SSHCertStoreType property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by SSHCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSHCertStorePassword.

SSHCertStore is used in conjunction with the SSHCertSubject property to specify client certificates. If SSHCertStore has a value, and SSHCertSubject or SSHCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the SSHCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform-dependent.

The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e. PKCS12 certificate store).

Data Type

Binary String

SSHCertStorePassword Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getSSHCertStorePassword();


public function setSSHCertStorePassword($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 40 );

ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 41, $value );

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

Data Type

Integer

SSHCertSubject Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getSSHCertSubject();


public function setSSHCertSubject($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 42 );


ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 42, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.

Data Type

String

public function setSSHCompressionAlgorithms($value);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_get($res, 50 );


ipworksssh_sftpserver_set($res, 50, $value );

Default Value

'none,zlib'

Remarks

During the SSH handshake, this list will be used to negotiate the compression algorithm to be used between the client and server. This list is used for both directions: client to server and server to client. When negotiating algorithms, each side sends a list of all algorithms it supports or allows. The algorithm chosen for each direction is the first algorithm to appear in the sender's list that the receiver supports, so it is important to list multiple algorithms in preferential order. If no algorithm can be agreed upon, the class will raise an error and the connection will be aborted.

At least one supported algorithm must appear in this list. The following compression algorithms are supported by the class:

• zlib
• zlib@openssh.com
• none

Data Type

String

SSHEncryptionAlgorithms Property (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

A comma-separated list containing all allowable encryption algorithms.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getSSHEncryptionAlgorithms();


public function setSSHEncryptionAlgorithms($value);

Remarks

During the SSH handshake, this list will be used to negotiate the encryption algorithm to be used between the client and server. This list is used for both directions: client to server and server to client. When negotiating algorithms, each side sends a list of all algorithms it supports or allows. The algorithm chosen for each direction is the first algorithm to appear in the sender's list that the receiver supports, so it is important to list multiple algorithms in preferential order. If no algorithm can be agreed upon, the class will raise an error and the connection will be aborted.

At least one supported algorithm must appear in this list. The following encryption algorithms are supported by the class:

Data Type

String

Config Method (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doConfig($configurationstring);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_do_config($res, $configurationstring);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Disconnect Method (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

This method disconnects the specified client.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDisconnect($connectionid);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_do_disconnect($res, $connectionid);

Remarks

Calling this method will disconnect the client specified by the ConnectionId parameter.

DoEvents Method (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doEvents();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_do_doevents($res);

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

ExchangeKeys Method (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

Causes the class to exchange a new set of session keys on the specified connection.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doExchangeKeys($connectionid);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_do_exchangekeys($res, $connectionid);

Remarks

SSH key renegotiation can be initiated by either end of an established SSH connection. ExchangeKeys allows the server to start such a renegotiation with the client. During this process, SSHStatus events will fire containing updates regarding the key negotiation process.

The SSH 2.0 specification recommends that key renegotiation be done once for 2 gigabytes (GB) of data processed by the connection, or once every day. This makes it more difficult to break the security of data-intensive or long-lived connections.

Reset Method (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

Reset the class.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doReset();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_do_reset($res);

Remarks

This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.

SetFileList Method (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

This method starts listening for incoming connections.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doStartListening();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_do_startlistening($res);

Remarks

This method begins listening for incoming connections on the port specified by LocalPort. Once listening, events will fire as new clients connect and data are transferred.

To stop listening for new connections, call StopListening. To stop listening for new connections and to disconnect all existing clients, call Shutdown.

StopListening Method (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

This method stops listening for new connections.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doStopListening();

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_do_stoplistening($res);

Remarks

This method stops listening for new connections. After being called, any new connection attempts will be rejected. Calling this method does not disconnect existing connections.

Connected Event (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

This event is fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireConnected($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_register_callback($res, 1, array($this, 'fireConnected'));

Parameter List

 'connectionid'
 'statuscode'
 'description'
 'certstoretype'
 'certstore'
 'certpassword'
 'certsubject'

Remarks

If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK".

If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the system. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the system error.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

ConnectionId is the connection Id of the client requesting the connection.

CertStoreType is the store type of the alternate certificate to use for this connection. The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

CertStore is the store name or location of the alternate certificate to use for this connection.

Designations of certificate stores are platform-dependent.

The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e. PKCS12 certificate store).

CertPassword is the password of the certificate store containing the alternate certificate to use for this connection.

CertSubject is the subject of the alternate certificate to use for this connection.

The special value * matches any subject and will select the first certificate in the store. The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.

SSHUserAuthRequest Event (IPWorksSSH_SFTPServer Class)

Fires when a client attempts to authenticate a connection.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSHUserAuthRequest($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworksssh_sftpserver_register_callback($res, 19, array($this, 'fireSSHUserAuthRequest'));

Parameter List

 'connectionid'
 'user'
 'service'
 'authmethod'
 'authparam'
 'accept'
 'partialsuccess'
 'availablemethods'
 'homedir'
 'keyalgorithm'

Remarks

The SSHUserAuthRequest event fires when an SSH client attempts to authenticate itself on a particular connection. ConnectionId will identify the connection being authenticated. User will be the name of the account requesting authentication, and Service will contain the name of the service the client is wishing to access.

AuthMethod will denote which method the client is attempting to use to authenticate itself. AuthParam will contain the value of the authentication token used by the client. If the token is acceptable, you may set Accept to true to allow the SFTPServer to authenticate the client. If it is not, set Accept to false.

Connecting clients will initially attempt authentication with an AuthMethod of "none". This is done with the expectation that the request will fail and the server will send a list of supported methods back to the client. In your implementation check the AuthMethod parameter, if it is "none" you should set AvailableMethods and reject the request. The client will select one of the available methods and re-authenticate.

You may set AvailableMethods to a comma-delimited string of authentication methods that are available for the user. This list will be sent back to the client so that it may perform further authentication attempts.

The following is a list of methods implemented by the class:

In the case the user authentication succeeds, you may set HomeDir to the virtual path representing the initial directory for the user. If not set, the initial directory will be RootDirectory.

The PartialSuccess parameter is only used when multi-factor authentication is needed. To implement multi-factor authentication when this event fires first verify the AuthParam for the given AuthMethod. If accepted, set PartialSuccess to true and Accept to false. The client should then send the authentication request for a different form of authentication specified in AvailableMethods. You may continue to set PartialSuccess to true until all authentication requirements are satisfied. Once all requirements are satisfied set Accept to true.

KeyAlgorithm hold the signing algorithm used when the client attempts public key authentication. Possible values are:

• ssh-rsa
• rsa-sha2-256
• rsa-sha2-512
• ssh-dss
• ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
• ecdsa-sha2-nistp384
• ecdsa-sha2-nistp521
• x509v3-sign-rsa
• x509v3-sign-dss

Note: Processing long-running requests, including sending channel data, inside this event may cause the underlying transport to stop processing SSH data until the event returns. In order to prevent this from happening, all requests should be processed asynchronously in a separate thread outside of this event.
