Using Ruby to list directory names from a remote machine
The first line of code executes an external shell command which retrieves directory names into an array. The second line of code displays each directory making sure to chop the '/', and '\n' from the name.
Note: In this example ssh access to the remote machine does not prompt the user for a password as the hosts know each other. see ssh-keygen.
dir_listing = `ssh 192.168.1.10 'ls */ -d'` dir_listing.each { |directory| puts directory.chop.chop }
Note: In this example ssh access to the remote machine does not prompt the user for a password as the hosts know each other. see ssh-keygen.
