Hi! Please imagine the following configuration: A------------------------------------+ | Application 1 (libssh2) | | 1.0.0.1 | +------------------------------------+ ^ | v B------------------------------------+ | 1.0.0.2 | | 2.0.0.1 | +------------------------------------+ ^ | v C------------------------------------+ | 2.0.0.2 | | Application 2 | +------------------------------------+
The application 1 (based on libssh2), running on host A is required to execute and retrieve the standard output of the application 2 running on host C. There is no direct link between host A and host C, but rather host C is reachable through the intermediate host B (both require password authentication). So an exec-channel through an intermediate host is required, and I'm now looking for a decent way to do this using libssh2. As far as I can tell from the documentation, I would need to create a direct-tcpip-channel to tunnel the exec-channel through the intermediate host B. To create the exec-channel, however, a session is required which itself requires a socket (which is not available for the direct-tcpip-channel, which requires libssh2_channel_read/write to get data through, not read/write). This means that I need to create another pair of sockets (maybe a unix domain socket) to loop the data through (the direct-tcpip-session and the exec-session) - which I want to avoid. So are there any options to establish a 'direct' exec-channel through an intermediate host (without acquiring an additional socketpair)? If not, what is the preferred solution in this case? Thanks! br Lars _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
