Execute SSH Command on remote Linux Machine using

问题:

I have a Mac Native app written with Xcode. I want to execute some SSH command using that application on remote servers and get the result back to user.

Is there any library/Framework exist for that? Is that possible?

You will want to use the NSTask class to execute an ssh command.

The following code was adapted from the answer to this question.

NSTask *task;
task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath: @"/usr/bin/ssh"]; // Tell the task to execute the ssh command
[task setArguments: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"<user>:<hostname>", @"<command>"]]; // Set the arguments for ssh to contain only your command. If other configuration is necessary, see the ssh(1) man page.

NSPipe *pipe;
pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[task setStandardOutput: pipe];
NSFileHandle *file;
file = [pipe fileHandleForReading]; // This file handle is a reference to the output of the ssh command

[task launch];

NSData *data;
data = [file readDataToEndOfFile];

NSString *string;
string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]; // This string now contains the entire output of the ssh command.
