fake_cmd provides a simulated remote command line based on file communication, in order to send commands from the client to the server for execution. It applies to situations where two computers cannot be connected through the network (which means ssh is impossible), but can be mounted onto the same hard disk.

slime_core is a necessary dependency, and install it as follows:

pip install slime_core

pexpect is a recommended dependency (if you run the server on a Unix platform):

pip install pexpect

On the server computer which you want to run your code on, start the server as follows:

from fake_cmd.core.server import Server

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Server('/specify/a/hard/disk/path/here').run()

On the client, start the client as follows:

from fake_cmd.core.client import CLI

if __name__ == '__main__':
    CLI('/same/path/as/the/server').run()
