ssh密码错误时pxssh中断

Question

I Am Trying To Connect to an ssh server in python using pxssh lib

#!/usr/bin/python

import pxssh

attempt = pxssh.pxssh()

if not attempt.login(IP, USERNAME, PASSWORD):

    print("SSH LOGIN FAILED USING USERNAME : " + USERNAME + " AND PASSWORD : " + PASSWORD)

else:

    print("LOGIN WAS SUCCESSFUL USING USERNAME : " + USERNAME + " AND PASSWORD : " + PASSWORD)

    attempt.sendline("pwd")

    attempt.prompt()

    print attempt.before

break

it works fine when password is correct and logs into server and executes

pwd

but when password is incorrect or login failes for any reason the program breaks i expect this :

print("SSH LOGIN FAILED USING USERNAME : " + USERNAME + " AND PASSWORD : " + PASSWORD)

but instead i get this error:

  File "./ssh.py", line 19, in <module>
    if not attempt.login(IP, USERNAME, PASSWORD):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pexpect/pxssh.py", line 292, in login
    raise ExceptionPxssh ('password refused')
pexpect.pxssh.ExceptionPxssh: password refused

Answer 1

If it raises an exception when the password is incorrect, then you have to catch the exception rather than rely on a return value.

Return values and exceptions are two totally different paradigms in dealing with potential error conditions.

As to how to catch exceptions, see https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/errors.html for the canonical guide.
