I have to Run a command in Unix System from my C# Application running on Windows. The two system is in same network and I have all the required credentials.
Is there is any API from which I can run "ls" command of UNIX from C# code by establishing a SSH connection.
EDIT: I am looking for a solution which will help in running any command or script present in Remote System.
Systems that run SSH usually support some kind of SFTP, so you could just use something like SSH.NET:
using (var sftpClient = new SftpClient("localhost", "root", "bugmenot")
{
sftpClient.Connect();
var files = sftpClient.ListDirectory("/tmp");
}
or SharpSSH:
Sftp sftp = new Sftp("localhost", "root", "bugmenot");
try
{
sftp.Connect();
ArrayList files = sftp.GetFileList("/tmp");
}
finally
{
sftp.Close();
}
Edit: You can run any command over SSH with both libraries. Admittedly, I have not done that, yet, but it is supposed to work like this:
using (var sshClient = new SshClient("localhost", "root", "bugmenot")
{
sshClient.Connect();
var cmd = sshClient.RunCommand("ls");
var output = cmd.Result;
}
SshStream ssh = new SshStream("localhost", "root", "bugmenot");
try
{
ssh.Write("ls");
var output = ssh.ReadResponse();
}
finally
{
ssh.Close();
}
