ssh password + windows platform

ManojKumar — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 23:04:47 GMT

Hi all,

I think yesterday i was not clear-

Query is ::
1)I am working on .net platform (C#).
2)I am supposed to execute one ssh command .
3)The command is : ssh -T root@ .
4)After execution of the above command , it is asking for a password .
5)Through my program, i am not able to provide the password .
6)I don't want to use public key authentication,expect scripts,cygwin etc .

Need to know whether it is possible to provide the password without using these utilities .

regards,
manoj

You were quite clear yesterday.

The simplest approach, as a previous post
noted, is to use public key authentication.
Out of curiosity, what is your objection
to that approach?

If your windows ssh client is similar to the
unix implementation, it's intentionally
disallowing IO redirection for reading
the password (thus necessitating the
awkward expect approaches, etc).
I don't know the windows equivalent
of these workarounds.
