I wonder how I can make > "dir" work - or for that matter.. with "cd /path/to/dir"? dir is an internal command of the windows shell. Try ssh_obj.exec_command("cmd /c dir") This will execute the dir command and then close the shell. cd is also internal, but I don't think it makes sense to invoke it and then close the shell... > I know for paramiko's ssh connection to work, i need cygwin installed on a > Windows.

Neither of them work.
