[Moin-user] how to launch a terminal window from MoinMoin

[Ted Stern]

Hi all,

I'd like to have a macro that does something like this:

  LaunchTerminal(host,directory[,shell][,terminal][,transport])

The default would be to do something like this:

  xterm -e "ssh host 'cd directory; export TERM=xterm; /bin/bash -i'"

The display would look something like this:

  host:/directory

which could be easily cut and pasted into a terminal for scp purposes.


The application is that there is a remote server hosting very large
files that would be inconvenient to copy.  The typical user has access
to the remote host and an account there.


Is there a standard HTML way to launch a terminal from a browser?
