Re: Calling a remote ssh connection from perl

> ssh: Could not resolve hostname root.remoteIP: Name or service not known

are you sure you are showing us the right code and error message?

This

system("ssh root@remoteIP /usr/bin/ls");

will try to interpolate an array @remoteIP into the double-quoted string

so better either write

system("ssh root\@remoteIP /usr/bin/ls")

system('ssh root@remoteIP /usr/bin/ls')

HTH! :)

Yes, I forgot to escape from things. So I modified the command `system("ssh root\@remoteIP /usr/bin/ls");` [download] and that seems to connect to the remote server but now it prompts for the password. And when I enter the password, I get a Permission Denied error.	[reply] [d/l]

see haukex' suggestion to use Net::OpenSSH, I second this. And you've changed the original post I replied to, this makes reading and understanding the thread very hard for others. (it was `system("ssh root@remoteIP /usr/bin/ls");` ) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
