118<h3>Examples</h3>
119<p><b>Run a command on a remote machine using password authentication</b></p>
120<pre>
121 &lt;sshexec host=&quot;somehost&quot;
122 username=&quot;dude&quot;
123 password=&quot;yo&quot;
124 command=&quot;touch somefile&quot;/&gt;
125</pre>
126
127<p><b>Run a command on a remote machine using key authentication</b></p>
128<pre>
129 &lt;sshexec host=&quot;somehost&quot;
130 username=&quot;dude&quot;
131 keyfile=&quot;${user.home}/.ssh/id_dsa&quot;
132 passphrase=&quot;yo its a secret&quot;
133 command=&quot;touch somefile&quot;/&gt;
134</pre>
135
136<p><b>Run a command on a remote machine using key authentication with no passphrase</b></p>
137<pre>
138 &lt;sshexec host=&quot;somehost&quot;
139 username=&quot;dude&quot;
140 keyfile=&quot;${user.home}/.ssh/id_dsa&quot;

144<p><strong>Security Note:</strong> Hard coding passwords and/or usernames
145in sshexec task can be a serious security hole. Consider using variable
146substitution and include the password on the command line. For example:<br>
147<pre>
148 &lt;sshexec host=&quot;somehost&quot;
149 username=&quot;${username}&quot;
150 password=&quot;${password}&quot;
151 command=&quot;touch somefile&quot;/&gt;
152</pre>
153Invoke ant with the following command line:
154<pre>
155 ant -Dusername=me -Dpassword=mypassword target1 target2
156</pre>
