SExec Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The SExec component is used to remotely execute a command on an SSH server.

Syntax

SExec

Remarks

The SExec class establishes a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to a server and starts up the user's default shell. Using the class is very simple. The destination is specified by the SSHHost property, and the login information is given by the SSHUser and SSHPassword properties. To execute the command, simply call the Execute command or set the Command property with the command you wish to execute as the parameter. Further input can be supplied to the Text parameter of the Send method or via the Stdin property.

The output of the command is returned through the Stdout event. If an error happens on the protocol level, the error message can be found in the ErrorMessage property. Errors during command execution (the stderr stream) are given by the Stderr event. Once the remote command or application terminates, the class will disconnect from the server. If the application's exit status is non-zero (success), the class will throw an exception.

Property List

CommandThe command to be sent to the remote host.
ConnectedTriggers a connection or disconnection.
ErrorMessageThe error message returned by the server along with the ExitStatus .
ExitStatusThe exit code for the last executed command.
FirewallAutoDetectThis property tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.
FirewallTypeThis property determines the type of firewall to connect through.
FirewallHostThis property contains the name or IP address of firewall (optional).
