Paramiko not executing command or shell - Python

Question

I'm using the Paramiko library to run a ssh command between two servers. My "Master" server is a Fedora 18 box, and my "Slave" is a Windows 7 machine. In other to run a ssh server in the Windows 7 machine, I installed FreeSSHd .After configuring freesshd I can ssh from the Fedora 18 machine into the Windows machine and execute a command like dir . However, When I try doing so using Paramiko , I'm not having the same luck:

Could someone please give me a clue why isn't working? Am I missing something?

将cmd = ["cd ..", "dir" ]替换为cmd = ['cmd.exe /c "cd C:\\ && dir"' ]
