Always the same commands?

Yes. Once I have ssh'ed in,  it will be the same commands.

Which of the steps you describe cannot be fully automated because they're actually different each time

The 1st step (ssh into the remote gateway server).  The one-time password changes for each login, and can only be generated by external hardware.  So it has to be a variable that I need to input each time I initiate the workflow.

Does Spotlight find things on the volume?

Nope... it seems even Spotlight doesn't work. I have tried to reset index, open spotlight preference and drag & remove the drive to force it to rebuild index also some terminal command .. still not working...

I am on High Sierra. Not sure what is wrong ...

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

I was trying to automate the following process:

- Open Terminal and ssh to a remote gateway server using a one-time Password (passed in by user as an argument of workflow)

- once I manage to ssh to the remove server, i would like to execute one or two terminal commands

- exit and close the Terminal app.

The challenge here is the gateway server uses one-time password that I have to generate externally from token. And gateway does not allow password-less login. I think these two points make scripting a bit more challenging. So I am wondering if workflow can automate the process the same way as human does.

Hi,

Thanks for the tips. I am new to workflow. I was not actually using any scripts for my ssh. My workflow opens the Terminal.app and I assume that was the interactive session?

I am not sure what you meant by "exit with an error". I just notice my Terminal shows "Password:" and just wait for user to input password instead of using the arguments from my workflow. It seems that the workflow kind of stops when it sees "Password:" in the terminal?

Hi,

I have created a File Filter workflow and intended to find files in some of my network share-volumes (shared by other mac).

I have added the volume path (/Volumes/Shared) to Search Scope but its seems nothing is found..

Has someone had ever done this kind of job or any idea why it doesn't work?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I am trying to create a work flow that starts with keyword with argument with attempting to pass the user-input argument as a one-time password to a remote ssh server.

(The remote ssh server does not accept ssh-key setup, OTP is the only option there :( )

But some how I never managed to succeed. 

I am wondering if someone knows how to do this or is this possible at all?

Thanks! :)
