How to Make Paramiko Use Powershell By Default?

To make Paramiko use PowerShell by default, you will need to specify the shell type when creating an SSH client object. By setting the default_transport parameter to 'powershell', you can ensure that Paramiko runs PowerShell scripts instead of the default shell. Additionally, you may also need to adjust the command used to execute scripts to use PowerShell syntax, such as using powershell -Command followed by the script path. This will allow you to leverage the capabilities of PowerShell when using Paramiko for SSH communication.

How to make paramiko use PowerShell by default?

To make Paramiko use PowerShell by default, you can set the remote shell to 'powershell' when creating an SSH client connection. Here is an example code demonstrating how to do this:

import paramiko

# Create an SSH client
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()

# Set the shell to 'powershell'
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('your_remote_host', username='your_username', password='your_password', port=22, timeout=10, allow_agent=False, look_for_keys=False, banner_timeout=100, auth_timeout=100)

# Execute a PowerShell command
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('powershell "Get-Process"')

# Print the output
print(stdout.read().decode('utf-8'))

# Close the connection
ssh.close()

In this code snippet, we first create an SSH client using Paramiko. We then set the remote shell to 'powershell' using the exec_command function and execute a simple PowerShell command to get the list of processes running on the remote machine. Finally, we print the output and close the SSH connection.

By explicitly setting the shell to 'powershell' in the exec_command function, Paramiko will use PowerShell by default when executing commands on the remote machine.

How to log output from paramiko when using PowerShell?

To log output from Paramiko when using PowerShell, you can redirect the output to a file using the ">" operator. Here's an example of how you can do this:

1. Open a PowerShell window.
2. Run your Paramiko script, for example:

1

python paramiko_script.py

1. Redirect the output to a log file by using the ">" operator followed by the path to the log file. For example:

1

python paramiko_script.py > output.log

This will save the output from your Paramiko script to a log file named "output.log" in the same directory where you ran the script. You can then open the log file to view the output from Paramiko.

Alternatively, if you want to capture both the standard output and standard error output, you can use the following command:

1

python paramiko_script.py > output.log 2>&1

This will redirect both standard output and standard error output to the same log file.
