Creating directories remotely

[blx]

Hi All,
Is there a way that I can create a directory on a remote machine from a bash command?

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

rsh RemoteHost Command

Sorry, but in my environment rsh is not supported. How would I do this from a script?

You want to be able to magically create a directory
or how would you connect in the first place?

I have an awk script that sets up a server that can do
what you want but it requires gawk 3.1..

#use at your own risk
    function interpreter(cmd,auth, list) {
       if (auth && cmd) {
         print "Sending", cmd
         while ((cmd | getline) > 0) {
            list = length(list) < 1 ? $0&quot;\n&quot; : list&quot;\n&quot;$0
         }
      }
      close(cmd)
      return list
    }


    BEGIN {
        passwd = &quot;bogus&quot;
        socket = &quot;/inet/tcp/2300/0/0&quot;

        while (1) { 
           while ((socket |& getline) > 0) {
               if (!auth) {
                 printf &quot;Password: &quot; |& socket
                    if ((socket |& getline) > 0 && $0 == passwd) {
                      auth = 1
                    } else {
                      print &quot;Sorry, wrong password: &quot;,$0 |& socket
                      auth = 0
                    }
              }
              print &quot;AwkRemote Command Shell--> #&quot;, cnt |& socket
              res = interpreter($0,auth)
              print res |& socket
           }
           close(socket)
           auth = 0
           socket |& getline
       }
    }

For the client you could use netcat, any telnet client, etc..
