[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] using Net::SSH::Perl from a web page

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I'm trying to use Net::SSH::Perl to connect to a remote server via a web
page. The webserver is running as an unprivileged user (webserve).

This code does work fine from the command line (as user webserve), but when
I try the same code from the web interface, it prints everything up to the
$ssh->cmd() line...

Is this a security feature? Any solution for something like this to work?

Thanks!

=============================================
Code:
---------------------------------------------

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use Net::SSH::Perl;
use strict;

my $server = 'server';
my $un = 'username';
my $pw = 'password';

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><body>\n";
print "Testing Net::SSH::Perl\n";

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new("$server", port=>'22', protocol=>'1,2');
print "1...<br>";
$ssh->login($un, $pw);
print "2...<br>";
my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd("ls");
print "3...<br>";

print "stdout is $stdout<br>\n";
print "stderr is $stderr<br>\n";
print "exit is $exit\n";
print "</body></html>";

Output from command line:
---------------------------------------------
