SSH Secure Shell is a secure telnet internet protocol to allow exchange of data. On the first place, it is used on Unix and Linux systems to access shell accounts and shell scripts. SSH was designed to replacement the insecure TELNET protocol and other insecure remote shell protocols (incl. RSH, Remote Shell). SSH uses the well-known public-key cryptographic algorithm to authenticate the remote host.

ActiveSocket can be well integrated into PHP environments. This document describes how ActiveSocket can be integrated into PHP projects.

Step 1: Download and install ActiveSocket

Download ActiveSocket from the ActiveXperts Download Site and start the installation. The installation guides you through the installation process.

Step 2: Create a form

To execute the telnet commands the user is going to give, you need to get the command from the user. We're doing that using a form. In this form we'll work with 4 fields.

  • One field for the command we're going to give (name : command)
  • One field for the location we want to send the command at (name : server)
  • One field for the port we want to send the command at (name : port)
  • And one field for the logfile (name : logfile)

You can make it look like this:

Create a form with the names listed above. To trigger the commands, we're going to set a variable in the url. In this sample we're using the variable "execute". You can fill in this variable using the action propertie in the <form> tag. 

<form action=index.php?execute=ready>
