Secure Shell (SSH) is a secure network protocol that is widely used for remote administration of computers, data transfer, and connecting to remote servers securely. While SSH is a powerful tool, it can be quite challenging to manage and use, especially for those who are new to it. That’s where an SSH wrapper comes in. An SSH wrapper is a script that automates the process of connecting to an SSH server and provides additional features that make using SSH more manageable and convenient.

In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of an SSH wrapper, provide the source code written in Python for an SSH wrapper, and provide a detailed explanation of the source code. We will also explore some future ideas for improving the script.

Benefits of an SSH Wrapper

  1. Automation of Connection Process: An SSH wrapper automates the process of connecting to an SSH server. With just a few lines of code, you can connect to a remote server and perform various tasks.
  2. Improved Security: An SSH wrapper can be used to enforce security policies and ensure that the remote connection is secure. For example, the wrapper can enforce password or key-based authentication, making it more secure than traditional password-based authentication.
  3. Easy Logging: An SSH wrapper can…
