HTML5 based Remote SSH with Python backend

• Requirements
• Python setup
• WebsocketServer
• HTML Setup

• Python 2.7 (Tested), may work with other version of Python
• HTML5 browser supporting WebSocket and JSON(you can replace JSON with other library if you donot have support of it)

Paramiko is a python based SSH client with good documentation. You can easily install it using following command

pip install paramiko

I wanted a simplest of the WebSocket server so I selected this. As state here about the installation, you can easily install it by:

1. pip install git+https://github.com/Pithikos/python-websocket-server (latest code)
2. pip install websocket-server (might not be up-to-date)

python python/shel.py

You can just copy shell.html and edit few things up depending on your requirements. The main connection line looks like below and can be edited to set the host/username/password you required

mainSocket.send(JSON.stringify({action: 'connect', host:"localhost",port:22,username:'user',password:'password'}));

• action: 'connect' (default to connect for connection)
• host: the host you would like to connect to. localhost, www.google.com, 192.168.1.5(this will connect to the server's local network and not your own)
• port: default is 22, you can send the port you want
• username: the username you want to connect to
• password: the password you connect to server for the username

Please feel free to modifiy code on you end, the application still needs upgrade since I only required few basics for my personal project and I wanted to share the code.
