Many thanks.
The error message indicates that there hostname HOST could not be resolved. You need to replace that with the value of the variable HOST. COMMAND = "ssh -vNDR 23333 {}@{}".format(USER, HOST) I'm curious to know why you can't use keys. They make things much simpler. -- regards, kushal _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
