newbie question

[FALCONSEYE]

is it possible to execute a file on a remote server? i have all the rights. all i want to do is to execute a file and pass the arguments something like
e:/gpg.exe is the file to run

gpg -e -r XXX test22.txt

perhaps any classes/methods i should be aware of?
thanks for the help in advance

I'd bet for System.exec() to start. Search this fourm, sedj has answered this question with an useful code snippet a lot of times.

Cheers,

@falconseye: Is java installed on the remote machine, or do you like to install java on the remote machine?

Is there some sshd running?

If your machine can see the executable (ie you have the remote filesystem mounted/exported etc) then you can use a simple :

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command_to_execute);
p.waitFor();

If you cannot see the filesystem, then you will need to use some kind of technology like RMI to remotely execute the file.
