RE: [PHP-DB] hi (php-SSH)

You can use putty. PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. You can download from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Good luck Nato -----Original Message----- From: otherguy [mailto:otherguy@other-net.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 12:34 AM To: David Smith Cc: php-db@lists.php.net; suman@bacbarcodes.com Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] hi (php-SSH) On Monday, July 28, 2003, at 10:19 PM, David Smith wrote: > Suman Aluru wrote: > >> hi , >> is there any way to write a PHP program for SSH. >> I want to establish a SSH connection and work some commands in the >> remote system and close the connection. >> > > Yes, just do this (uses an SSH key file): > > <?php > echo "Executing remote command...<br />"; > echo ssh -i /path/to/key/file user@host ls /tmp; > echo "Done executing remote command.<br />"; > ?> > > Use an SSH key file so you won't have to provide a password.

If you're going to go this route, I would suggest that you read up on the security issues inherent in using a non-passworded key file - and make sure that the privileges on the remote host are set accordingly. -Cameron Wilhelm -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
