Server Management

Interactive server management with SSH login, SCP file transfer, and SSH key setup. Reads server configuration from a host file.

Host file format

The host file at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/host defines available servers:

name user@server_ip password [port]

• name: Display name for server selection (e.g., cloud-user@meng(10.0.11.238))
• user@server_ip: SSH connection string
• password: Server password, or -1 for SSH key authentication
• port: SSH port (default: 22)

Example:

my-server admin@192.168.1.100 mypass123 22
prod-box deploy@10.0.0.5 -1

Operations

Login to server

Interactive server selection and SSH login:

bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/server-login.sh

Supports both password (via expect) and key-based authentication.

Upload file to server

Upload a local file or directory to a remote server:

bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/server-upload.sh <local_path> <remote_path>

Download file from server

Download a file or directory from a remote server:

bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/server-download.sh <remote_path> <local_path>

Copy SSH key to server

Deploy your SSH public key to a server's authorized_keys:

bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/server-copy-key.sh

This uses ssh-copy-id to add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the remote server.

Adding servers

Edit the host file to add new servers:

echo "new-server user@ip password port" >> ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/host

Or use -1 as password for key-based auth:

echo "new-server user@ip -1" >> ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/host

Notes

• The host file is gitignored to prevent credential leakage
• Use -1 as password after copying your SSH key via server-copy-key.sh
• All SCP operations support recursive transfer (directories)
• Expects expect command to be available for password-based auth
