Working with putty

[testingcareers]

Hi, I need to ssh to an appliance (i.e linux box or any unix flavour) and run a command. Is this possible in QTP. Can anyone throw some light on this.

[Amit Singh Chauhan]

yes this is possible.

You need to create string (command you want to execute) and then run it by shell command.

Eg:

Code:

exeCommand = "C:\putty.exe cd/home UID@Server -pw PWD your unix command"

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run exeCommand

for each command you need to create seprate commands and then execute them.

Thanks Amit for the quick reply. I just tried the steps.
I got an Invalid Port no message, Is there any option to specify port number.

We never faced this issue related to port number. You can google it, and see if you get some help.
