My objective is to connect to an ssh server and enter commands automatically using c++ and system. When running:
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string user = "user";
string forwarded = "0.tcp.ngrok.io";
string port = "00000";
string command = "ssh "+user+ "@" +forwarded+ " -p "+port;
system(command.c_str());//connects to ssh server
system("password");//Would like to enter pass within the output of ssh
}
It only enter first command and only after exiting the ssh it enters the password (as a command).
Is it possible to add the password within the ssh command (maybe with popen) ? After that, will it be able to enter commands into the ssh server?
No, you can not.
But perhaps you can use std::cin and std::cout for that, which I would NOT recommend.
I assume you are looking for a library similar to paramiko which is, however, in python.
