i want to change user passwords via my api, but my current code doesnt work.
Maybe someone could help me.
$cmd1 = "passwd ".$info['instanceFtpUser'];
$ssh->exec($cmd1."
");
$ssh->exec($newpass."
");
$ssh->exec($newpass."
");
$ssh->disconnect();
btw, i'm using phpseclib
Your use case is an example on the phpseclib docs: http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/ssh/pty.html
As you can see you above you should use write to output to PTY, not exec:
$ssh->enablePTY();
$cmd1 = "passwd ".$info['instanceFtpUser'];
$ssh->exec($cmd1);
echo $ssh->read('password:');
$ssh->write($newpass."
");
echo $ssh->read('password:');
$ssh->write($newpass."
");
$ssh->disconnect();
You can also use sshpass (https://sourceforge.net/projects/sshpass/) it lets you ssh to a remote server without asking for password. you can create a script that ssh to the remote server and sets the new password. you can then call this script using the php exec function.
