hello all

I've got a very easy question for you guys, but quite difficult for me i guess

How can my MonoDevelop C# GUI deliver commands (by pressing a button on it) to a putty window and read from it as well, communicating with a distanced linux server?

(in other words i want to read and deliver commands to the terminal over ssh connection)

it has something to do with "using System.Diagnostics;" , or command-line argument parser maybe, but im unable to figure out how exactly. Ive spent the whole day without any fine results

can somebody please write a small code example? thx a lot

Solution 1

You can use SendKeys from your application to send keystrokes to the putty window. See this link for the signature of the method.

I think you missed the 'communicating with a distanced linux server' part.

I did not miss it. I thought that communicating with the putty client from his c# application was the easiest solutions. That is what I suggested, use sendkeys to send keystrokes to the putty client window.

I may not be the most elegant solutions but but it works.

Solution 2

You may have a look at the CodeProject's article: SSL/TLS client/server for .NET and SSL tunnelling[^].
