Python script for SSH through PuTTY

Question

I am able to give the following command in the command-line

C:\\>cd \"C:\\Program Files\\ExtraPuTTY\\Bin\"

C:\\P         


        

Answer 1

You have to pass the cwd as the cwd parameter of the Popen:

Popen(['putty.exe -ssh'...], shell=True, stdout=f, stderr=f, cwd=cwd)

And you should use Plink, not PuTTY, for automating the remote command execution. The Plink accepts the command on its command-line (PuTTY does not):

Popen(['plink.exe -ssh root@172.20.0.102 ls'], shell=True, stdout=f, stderr=f, cwd=cwd)
