Hi,

I am using libssh to run mkdir on remote machine. In case mkdir fails, I want to receive/get error in my client so i can take measures. I am getting OK as return code in all cases and don’t get to know if mkdir successfully ran or not. Please Suggest.

There is a page on this website called “Communication” you should take a look at that page and use these channels to talk to developers.

For some reasons,I have to use “channel_request_shell(channel)” to execute several commonds, I can’t get the prompt after executing one commond, however, I need the prompt to analyse the results.
How can I get the prompt when I use channel_request_shell?

Yes, the client side supports IPv6. The server side will support it with version 0.5.

Does the libssh support IPV6?

Download the source code and compile it yourself. See http://dev.libssh.org/wiki/VisualStudio

You can execute several commands using channel_exec like this

channel_request_exec(channel,"cd /tmp && mkdir mytest && cd mytest && touch mytest");

This will be executed as only one shell command.

Another solution is to use the shell command:

/* Do NOT put the channel into interactive mode/pty */
channel_request_shell(channel);
channel_write(channel,"cd /tmp ; echo OK");
channel_read()
channel_write(channel,"mkdir mytest ; echo OK");
...

basicaly that’s like a shell script. Do not expect being able to parse the “#” or “$” prompts, it won’t work…

Hi, I have a problem when I develop a program with the sshlib.
I opened a channel and then run a shell command with the channel, but after I read all the data from the channel with the function channel_read(), I found the channel was closed!
If I want to send the second command, should I have to open it again? Can you give me some help?
