add custom parameter to ssh connection config

[carlosivanrangel]

Is currently possible to add a custom parameter or option to the connection config? For example: -t customparameter

This:
ssh localhost -l steel -t customparameter

Here:

ssh.connect({
  host: 'localhost',
  username: 'steel',
  privateKey: Buffer.from('...')
})

Thanks in advance.

Hello! My knowledge about ssh2 beyond the common used options is limited. A quick search on explainshell explained that -t customparam means the following

Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on a
remote machine, which can be very useful, e.g. when implementing menu services. Multiple -t
options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty.

I couldn't find a 1-to-1 mapping of the option but you may have a better luck. The full list of options is available at https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2

Good luck!

When you execute commands, you can pass an option to allocate a pseudo-tty:

await ssh.execCommand('screen -r', { execOptions: { pty: true } })

I'm almost 2 years late, but this is hopefully still helpful.
