I figured out the correct syntax for my SSH/paramiko script thus completing my second actual Python script. WOOT. (With vast amounts of help from the guys in an IRC channel I frequent)
So my hangup on all of this boiled down to trying to use a Python2 command in Python3.. Ok well two instances of that: raw_input() was changed to just input(). And my print stdout() should have been print(stdout.read())
Once I got those values changed she ran like a well-oiled machine. Here's what I've been working on:
import sys, paramiko, getpass user = input("Username:") #Prompts for username#passwd = getpass.
getpass("Password for " + user + ":") #Prompts for password
key_file = input("Publickey full path:") #Prompts for full path to
key file
name = input("Target Hostname:") #Prompt for target
hostnamec
command = input("Enter target command:") #Prompt for
remote command
#Calling the paramiko ssh function
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
#Define value 'ssh' as calling the paramiko.sshclient
print('calling paramiko')ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.
AutoAddPolicy()) #Must come before connect line to add hosts
to known_hosts#ssh.connect("name", username="user",
password="passwd")
ssh.connect(hostname = name, username = user, key_filename =
key_file) # key_filename means to specify,
pkey on the#other hand means to actually paste in the key text
itself
print('trying to connect')
ssh.invoke_shell()
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command (command)
print(stdout.read())
#ssh.close()
I will keep this, if anything as a paramiko snippet. It works, it shows me how to SSH into a remote host and run a command. At this early stage, I can't ask for much more.
