Using the Rsh class

The Rsh class allows you to connect to a remote host and execute a command.

Note

Using the Rsh class differs from using the Rexec class in that the Rsh class is strictly based on a Remote Host authentication configuration while the Rexec class performs a full login.

Example

This example demonstrates executing a directory listing command on a remote host using the Rsh class.

[C#]

using Jscape.Telnet;

namespace RshTest {

       class RshExample {

               // The main entry point for the application.

               [STAThread]

               static void Main(string[] args) {

                       // Instantiate Rsh

                       Rsh rsh = new Rsh();

                       // connect to Remote Host and execute directory listing command

                       byte[] response = rsh.Execute("remotehost.com", "username", "ls -al");

                       // Get Remote Host response

                       string data = rsh.Encoding.GetString(response);

                       Console.WriteLine(data);

                       Console.WriteLine("Done.");

               }

       }

}

[Visual Basic]

Imports Jscape.Telnet

Module Module1

   Sub Main()

       ' Instantiate Rsh

       Dim myRsh As Rsh = New Rsh

       ' connect to Remote Host and execute directory listing command

       Dim response As Byte() = myRsh.Execute("remotehost.com", "username", "ls -al")

       ' Get Remote Host response

       Dim data As String = myRsh.Encoding.GetString(response)

       Console.WriteLine(data)

       Console.WriteLine("Done.")

   End Sub

End Module
