Can't get plink/putty script to work. StdoutRead misconfusion/Help.

[CrewXp]

Hey, I've searched around the forums for help, but I just can't seem to get it to work.

I'm trying to ssh to my server, login, and then have it send some commands...

However, It doesn't seem to return the result of the command I send

If you look at the code, It detects the text it's supopsed to, then it's supposed to send 'n' for no. When it gets to command prompt (after Sleep 1000), I send ls (to list directories). However, I never get a second message box giving me the output.

I use plink, putty in command line form.

#include <Constants.au3>
$hostname="mysite.com"
Dim $szIPADDRESS = TCPNameToIP($hostname)

$PID = Run(@comspec & " /c C:\Users\CrewXp\Downloads\plink.exe " &$hostname& " -pw mypass -l crewxp -ssh ","",@SW_MAXIMIZE,$STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD + $STDERR_CHILD)
DIM $sSTDOUT = "", $sSTDERR = ""
Do
    Sleep(2000)
$OUT = StderrRead($PID)
Msgbox(0,"",$OUT)
If Stringinstr($OUT,"The server's host key") Then
    StdinWrite($PID,"n")
    Sleep(2000)
    StdinWrite($PID,"ls")
EndIf
    
Until Not ProcessExists($PID)

Have you tried using the send command?

Here's what i did, though it doesn't work completely yet and it MUST be compiled as a console application:

#include <Constants.au3>
HotKeySet('`',"_read"); hit this button to read your input after hitting enter(tilde button)

$user = "";username
$pass = "";password
$host = "";host

$plink = Run("plink.exe -P 22 -l "&$user&" -pw "&$pass&" -ssh "&$host,@ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
$read = False
while 1
    $msg = StdoutRead($plink)
    if @error then ExitLoop
    if $msg <> "" Then
        ConsoleWrite($msg)
    EndIf
    if $read Then
        StdinWrite($plink,ConsoleRead())
        $read=False
    EndIf
    sleep(25)
WEnd 
StdioClose($plink)

func _read()
    $read = True
EndFunc
