plink ssh tool onto an iAP VC+

  • 1.  plink ssh tool onto an iAP VC+

    Posted Dec 04, 2014 10:19 AM

    Hi

     

    I am trying to run plink, the ssh command line utility from the putty set, to login to an iAP VC and execute some commands. I have got all the login part working but can't get any of the commands to execute, let alone the pipe to an output file.

     

    plink USERNAME@IPADDRESS -pw PASSWORD  < help.txt >> output.txt

     

    I've followed a lot of online examples but always get an error 137. Looks like the iAP is refusing the passing of the commands?

     

    Any help appreciated.

     

    Regards

     

    Chris

    Unfortunately,

     

    The commandline is interactive and would requre a tool like expect to script most interactions.  Plink is good for connecting to a device, but it is not good for scripting in an interactive session (http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/Chapter7.html)

     

    You would probably want to use TCL/Expect:  http://linux.about.com/od/softorther/a/Tcl-Expect-For-Windows-Linux-Interaction.htm
