Python - Pxssh - Getting an password refused error when trying to login to a remote server

Question

I\'m trying to use the pexpect module pxssh to log in into my one of my server. I get password refused. I think I know what it is the problem, but can\'t figure out how to f

Answer 1

This error came for ssh is lock.so open the terminals and execute that command

xxxx@toad:~$ rm .ssh/known_hosts

remove the known_hosts

another options is you login in windows means check command prompt. if you try to login in windows means use for pexpect

child = pexpect.spawn('ssh tiger@172.16.0.190 -p 8888')
child.logfile = open("/tmp/mylog", "w")
print child.before
child.expect('.*Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?')
child.sendline("yes")

child.expect(".*assword:")
child.sendline("tiger\r")
child.expect('Press any key to continue...')
child.send('\r')
child.expect('C:\Users\.*>')
child.sendline('dir')
child.prompt('C:\Users\.*>')

pxssh uses the shell prompt to synchronize output from the remote host.

In order to make this more robust it sets the shell prompt to something more unique than just $ or #. This should work on most Borne/Bash or Csh style shells. Refer http://www.pythonforbeginners.com/code-snippets-source-code/ssh-connection-with-python/
