I have a CI system on my Windows to build my server code.
Nowadays, I also want to autobuild my IOS project daily, but it can only build in Mac system.
So I write a shell script that can build my ios project on my Mac, and I want to remotely execute my script from Windows.
How can I write a batch file on Windows to remote access my Mac and execute my script there? So I can make my CI system to execute that batch file everyday automatically.
Or... does anyone got other better ways to do this thing?
Thanks!
Get "plink" from the PuTTY download page. Put the command(s) to kick off your Mac shell script in a file (e.g. "maccommands.txt") on your Windows computer. Then make a batch file that contains:
plink -l macusername -m maccommands.txt your.mac.ip.address
If you don't want to be prompted for a password every time, you could make a public-private keypair with an empty passphrase using PuTTYgen. Save the private key as "pc_rsa.ppk" (or whatever you want to call it). Copy the public key out of the PuTTYgen window to the clipboard, and paste it in a text editor and save it (e.g. as "pc_rsa_pub.txt").
Then transfer the file with public key over to the Mac, and add its contents to the end of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, e.g. with cat pc_rsa_pub.txt >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Then add -i pc_rsa.ppk to the plink command above to use your private key.
(This obviously has security implications, so protect the private key file. You could also use -pw password but that has even greater security implications as the password would be plainly visible within your batch file.)
