I am wondering whether this library can send any string into the nano or touch command to the remote server?

Hey! Sorry to reply not-so directly, but have you considered using 'echo' and redirecting the output to said file? For example...

echo 'james' > myname

Technically you could probably spin up a full TTY and automate nano but there's really no need in most situations unless you're trying to do something extremely specific.

I echo what @DuffyAPP-IT said above! I'll mark this as resolved
