RE: SSH

Hi, > man ssh Do that, you'll see there is a -c command, and also read up on using RSA key authentication, so that the password doesn't have to be entered for that host. BE WARNED - if you use RSA key auth, then any process under the login account you specify it for (it will probably have to be "nobody") will be able to waltz in without being asked for a password. Biiiiig security hole. You could use "popen" to open a ssh process and wait to be asked for the password etc... Remember to check the RSA key pattern. - Dan -----Original Message----- From: Kyle Gibson [mailto:admin@plaguenet.com] Sent: 04 May 2002 23:32 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] SSH I am curious as to how I would go about executing SSH command line operations through PHP. Say for instance the command "ftpwho", which would return a list of users connected to a FTP server, along with what they are doing, etc. I've tried to open a socket to my SSH server, along with the functions system(), shell_exec(), and exec().
