I am looking for suggestions, ideas.I have developed python (3.6.x, 2.7.x) scripts that run well as a user on an ubuntu/16.04 system - the scripts look for files, parses the files, assembles an output for the user. I first cd into a particular directory on the system (where I know the files exist) and run the script - the final result is in my working directory. What I am now trying to do is ... figure out the least painful way to have other users do the same - BUT sitting in front of a Windows desktop (7 or 10). Ideally, I would like to set up the user on their Windows 7/10 system so that they can "login" to the ubuntu system (say putty) - change working directory (to where desired) - run the script (on the ubuntu system) - and scp the file back to the windows desktop. ("porting" the ubuntu script to anaconda(3) on the windows desktop IS possible (but it has not been as easy as I had hoped!) (django and programs like that do seem to provide a "GUI" to have python scripts run on ubuntu/systems - but the setup looks mysterious/complicated (to me anyway)) I stumbled onto "paramiko" - is that a possible answer? Any suggestion/ideas would be greatly appreciated! (I am perfectly willing to stick to 3.6.x, unless there is a clean/easy solution using 2.7.x) krishnan
An alternative to writing your own server app using django, though admittedly less exciting from a developer's point of view, could be x2goclient/server (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/start). That would be more like your putty suggestion, but a lot more user-friendly.
