Commands: The commands option allows for running of a sequence of commands in the action. The action will open a channel once connected and proceed to call each command in sequence waiting for the previous command to complete. Once all commands have been run, the channel and connection will be closed and the action will completed, returning the exitCode of the last run command.
Script: The script option allows for a script to be uploaded to the SSH host and run locally under the users account. This allows for commands to be run in the context of the SSH host and to avoid any translation issues between the actions client implementation and the host in question. The script is uploaded using SFTP, placing the file in the base directory of the logged in user. This requires the user to be able to write and execute files in their base directory. The script is then updated to be executable, and then executed from the users base directory. The action will then wait for the script to complete, and then sets the Exit Code Variable to the last error code of the script. Before completing the action will remove the script file, and then close the channel and connection.
