LabVIEW SSH Tools

[Jim K. <ji...@ji...>]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has done any work with LabVIEW and SSH.  I was
looking at the PuTTY FAQ to see if there was a programmatic interface =
and
saw the following:

Probably your best bet is to use Plink, the command-line connection =
tool. If
you can start Plink as a second Windows process, and arrange for your
primary process to be able to send data to the Plink process, and =
receive
data from it, through pipes, then you should be able to make SSH =
connections
from your program.

This is what CVS for Windows does, for example.

I haven't done any works with pipes in Windows and did a little bit of
research.  I found the following on MSDN:

<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=3D/library/en-us/dllpr=
oc/ba
se/creating_a_child_process_with_redirected_input_and_output.asp>

Has anyone gotten pipes working in LabVIEW?  Would anyone more C++ savvy
than myself be interested in working with me to get a generic "System =
Exec
w/ Pipes" working?  I envision a DLL that could be called from LabVIEW =
(or
maybe LabVIEW could call WinAPI DLLs directly) with functions for =
Spawning
the Process (the command-line executable), Reading from, and Writing to =
a
Pipe for communication with the running executable.

Regards,
