running putty in c# and accepting hostkey

[awzse00]

I'm trying to open putty and to automatically connect to a server. The problem is that i've managed to open the putty with the server i need, now i've spent all night trying to figure it out how to press the freaking YES button. can somebody PLEASE tell me how to do it, because so far couldn't get it to work. Also use bvssh, and the same problem there too, can't press the accept button, managed to open it but can't press the accept button.

Thanks.

Try via code: http://help.zennolab.com/en/v5/zennoposter/5.3/ZennoLab.Emulation~ZennoLab.Emulation.Emulator~ButtonClick.html

Still doesn't works. Here's the code maybe i'm doing something wrong. It opens putty enters everything, but it still doesn't push the YES button.
To test it it requires putty to be in system32

System.Diagnostics.Process cmd = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

cmd.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe";
cmd.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

cmd.Start();

cmd.StandardInput.WriteLine("putty -N -D 9000 -l ubnt -pw ubnt 67.222.195.227");

string result = Emulator.MouseClick("PuTTy Security Alert", MouseButton.Left, MouseButtonEvent.Click, 200, 200);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
if (result == "ok" && !Emulator.ErrorDetected)
{
    // click on button with caption "Yes"
    result = Emulator.ButtonClick("Yes", "Yes");
    // make answer
    if (result == "ok" && !Emulator.ErrorDetected) return "All done";
    else return "Fail";
}

You have activate the putty window before doing mouse click in there I believe.

Emulator.ActiveWindow("PuTTy Security Alert");

I'm running the code and it says it works and it selects the putty window

string result = Emulator.MouseClick("PuTTy Security Alert", MouseButton.Left, MouseButtonEvent.Click, 200, 200);

Putty window name is "PuTTy Security Alert" and in that window click the YES button. Can't find out what i'm doing wrong.

L.E.: My c# knowledge is nearly NONE, so far i've done it with trial and error, can't say i understand very much from what i've done.

And have you used Jruler or some other screen measuring tool to make sure coordinates for click on button is on target?

 

[awzse00]

Got the coordonates with Jruler.

MouseButtonEvent.Click, 164, 273

Can you please tell me what's the c# to wait for the window to open and then click the button. I'm thinking that he's clicking on the YES button, before the window becomes active, not after it shows up

 

[bigcajones]

Just put a longer pause in there. System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000); That will give you 10 seconds instead of the 2 you have in there

 

[awzse00]

Just put 20 sec. and still nothing, jesus christ it's eating my brain a YES button.

nobody know how to fix this ? PLEASEEEE HELP ME OUT I'M dying. Second I idea, how do I make it to press (LEFT) and then (ENTER) in the window putty .
This is the code so far, it works, but it just doesn't want to press enter.

System.Diagnostics.Process cmd = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
cmd.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe";
cmd.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
cmd.Start();
cmd.StandardInput.WriteLine("putty -N -D 9000 -l ubnt -pw ubnt 67.222.195.227");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(6000);
Emulator.ActiveWindow("PuTTy Security Alert");
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}");

Fianlly, got it working,

System.Diagnostics.Process cmd = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
cmd.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe";
cmd.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
cmd.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
cmd.Start();
cmd.StandardInput.WriteLine("putty -N -D 9000 -l admin -pw default 216.106.125.114");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(6000);
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("Y");

Awesome dude. Glad you finally got it worked out.

 

[awzse00]

Now the question is why in test mode works just fine, and in project it shows that runs but nothing happens

 

[awzse00]

Ok, here's the template, and if anybody has the time to take a look over it would be great.
Please note that you have to put putty.exe in windows/system32 in order to run ,or the direct path to the putty where you have it.
Now, if you open the c# and click on test, it opens everything, clicks on YES works like a charm, when you click save and close, and try to run the project, it says that macro has been successfully run and nothing, doesn't open putty doesn't do anything, just OK. Now at this point I'm really clueless about what to do. Any hint would be greatly appreciated and I owe you guys a beer.

L.E.: just remove "Take Line Tunele", there's already one inside, working.
