site exec

[fdefilippo]

hi, I would like to implement some kind of site exec so that I can execute a command like below:

exec /path/to/myprogram args

is there any example from which to draw inspiration?

thank you.

As far as I am aware the SFTP protocol offers no such functionality.

Since packets are bundled into discrete function packets, and we are not simply exchanging text commands, there is not really a way to do this sort of thing without using some special SSH_FXP_EXTENDED packets, and as of now, we have no way to support custom extended packets.

@fdefilippo this can be easily done using the SSH protocol.

You can add an handler for the exec req.Type here for example.
