It seems my questions are strange and i'm not getting enough help but I'm back. I've another strange question which needs to be solved in emergency.

I'm developing an iPhone app. which uses libssh 2 for commands execution through iPhone over remote host. It's okay and working all methods and commands if i execute them in single.

My problem is, consider a sequence of commands,

pwd

=> o/p will be /Users/mac01

cd xyz

=> nothing as o/p

pwd

=> o/p will be /Users/mac01/xyz

So, my question is to save the last state of the command which has been executed... but what I'm getting as o/p is /Users/mac01 after second pwd command execution, which is wrong.

So, could anyone help me out with such type of problems..? Thanks in advance. I'm using libssh 2.0 library.

The method executing command:

char* cmd_exec(const char *commandline, const char *host, const char *username, const char *password, int port){ int sock, rc, bytecount = 0; char *cmd_contents;

if(!he)
{
    struct sockaddr_in sin;

ifdef WIN32

    WSADATA wsadata;
    WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,0), &wsadata);

endif

    /* Init and Make Socket Connection  */
    /*  Start Socket Connection         */
    sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

ifndef WIN32

    fcntl(sock, F_SETFL, 0);

endif

    sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
    sin.sin_port = htons(port);
    /*sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(host);

     if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr*)(&sin),
     sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)) != 0) {    // in case connection failure
     fprintf(stderr, "Internet connection is required!\n");
     return "NETWORKFAILURE";
     }*/
    //const char *c = getIPFromHost("pepsi");
    //sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(c);

    /*      IP Address Calculation  */

    he = gethostbyname(host);

    if(!he)
        return "Invalid hostname";

    struct in_addr **addr_list;
    addr_list = (struct in_addr **)he->h_addr_list;
    //for(int i = 0; addr_list[i] != NULL; i++) {
    if(addr_list != NULL){
        sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(inet_ntoa(*addr_list[0]));
        //printf("%s", inet_ntoa(*addr_list[0]));
        if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr*)(&sin),
                    sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)) != 0) { // in case connection failure
