execCommand provides streaming ability via onStdout/onStderr option.
However, even if the option is provided, it still collects the output to own array:
|
output.stdout.push(chunk.toString(options.encoding)) |
When the output is very large it fails to convert the array to string:
https://github.com/steelbrain/node-ssh/blob/main/src/index.ts#L423-L424
RangeError: Invalid string length

Besides the error, I think it wastes resources and defeats the purpose of using streams.
