Send Commands To A Remote Machine Application With Python

I want to do the following in Python. Connect to a remote machine open an application there and then send some commands to this application. My idea was to do it through telnetlib

Solution 1:

you can do the following:

child = pexpect.spawn('telnet 192.168.0.1')
child.expect('[Ll]ogin') #you use the expected output, here will match either Login or login
child.sendline('username')
child.expect('[Pp]assword')
child.sendline('password')
child.expect('your remote prompt')
child.sendline('command')

you can install pexpect using pip

You can also have a list of expect:

index = child.expect['[Ll]ogin', '[Pp]assword']
ifindex == 0:
    child.sendline('username')
elseindex == 1:
    child.sendline('password')
