I'm a total newbe to scripting not to mention python. However I was able to
successfully create a telnet script to initiate login, initiate tftp, exit,
exit, confirm and close session. Frustrated, possibly causing my own misery.
I replace the sript the script with the standard example.
import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
HOST = "remote linux"
user = raw_input("Enter your remote account: ")
password = getpass.getpass()
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
tn.read_until("login: ")
tn.write(user + "\n")
if password:
tn.read_until("Password: ")
tn.write(password + "\n")
tn.write("ls\n")
tn.write("exit\n")
print tn.read_all()
Regardless of the script content, running in windows I constently get this
SyntaxError:
C:\Python30>python c:\Python30\scripts\telnet.py
File "c:\Python30\scripts\telnet.py", line 20
print tn.read_all()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
C:\Python30>
The same script works fine from linux.
I have also notices some other slight differences: this is my original
script that runs and completes but only if I comment out print. Also tried
to run debug without success in windows again this worked fine in linux. To
run this script in linux I also had to remove the b syntax in the "b" in the
perentesis
import telnetlib
# import pdb
HOST = "HP switch"
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
tn.read_until(b'Password: ')
tn.write(b'password\n')
pdb.set_trace()
tn.read_until(b'HP switch# ')
tn.write(b' sh time\n')
tn.read_until(b'HP switch# ')
tn.write(b'exit\n')
tn.read_until(b'HP switch> ')
tn.write(b'exit\n')
tn.read_until(b'Do you want to log out [y/n]? ')
tn.write(b'y')
print tn.read_all()
Any guidance would be appreciated.
