Hi, I'm trying to learn about capabilities of Python to work on remote servers. For my setup I have local ServerA and remote ServerB, I need to run py on ServerB to get some output files. There is no any option to do it from anywhere else as it custom setup for security purposes, I only can run it from ServerB. They both are Windows boxes. Server B is on network, I'm able to remote to it with userswd and run my script in test mode there. But for control and scheduling purposes I would like to operate on local ServerA. And for first step I tried to work with Paramiko to fire ServerB.test.py And I'm getting error like below, I suspect it could be due the fact that I have very uncommon syntax for my account with backslash? Though typing dummy password produces same output, so the problem might be other/bigger. import Paramiko # Server connection details hostname = 'xServerB' username = 'rdc\\twil100' # added extra \ for escape, original only single \ password = 'pswd123' try: client = paramiko.SSHClient() client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) client.connect(hostname, username=username, password=password) # error here command = 'print(\'ServerB\') stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command(command) print (' completed ') except Exception as e: print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}") #################### An unexpected error occurred: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Continue reading...
