Using Net::SSH::Perl (and not rsh !!) `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Net::SSH::Perl; use strict; my $user = ""; #Fill me in my $pass = ""; #Fill me in my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host); $ssh->login($user, $pass); my($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd("ls -alp");` [download] Greetz Beatnik ...

`ssh remote_machine ls -alp` (if you have passwordless ssh access to remote_machine, which is probably a bad idea) `mount remote_machine:/remote_dir /mnt ; ls -alp /mnt` (if remote_machine exports /remote_dir with NFS, and you're root locally) `ls -alp /net/remote_machine/remote_dir` (if remote_machine exports the dir, and local machine has automount set up with a hosts map)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Very carefully! (sorry... could'nt resist!) :-) `rsh -l user machine ls -alp` [download] oughta do it. Of course if you doing this within Perl it would be more like: `open PIPE,"rsh -l user machine ls -alp \|" or die "Screaming!:$!";` [download] milage will vary depending on the platform of course... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Peter L.
