Question

This is what I’m doing:

  ssh_ = new Process();
  ssh_.StartInfo.FileName = SshProvider;
  ssh_.StartInfo.Arguments = "-t -t " + Environment.UserName + "@" + serverName_;
  ssh_.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
  ssh_.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
  ssh_.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
  ssh_.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
  ssh_.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
  ssh_.Start();
  new Thread(new ThreadStart(ReadStdOut)).Start();
  new Thread(new ThreadStart(ReadStdErr)).Start();

I want to read the password prompt from stdout (or stderr) and write the password into stdin, but ssh is writing and reading from the console from which I started my mono app. I don’t understand why that is, since I have redirected those streams in the code above.

Answer 1

I should be using a C# SSH library like SharpSSH or Granados, rather than trying to interact with another process.
