Telnet C++ or SSH Program on Launch

I am wondering if someone can provide me with a couple c++ functions that would allow me to send and receive data over a telnet port.

I've also heard that I can create a program, and have it run via SSH, this would be preferred just because of the security benefits of SSH, are there any samples out there?

Update: What I want to do, is create a console program users could use remotely via SSH or telnet. I am a C++ programmer.

Update 2: I know I was vague, I am creating an inventory system that I want to be accessible to our employees via SSH or telnet. I will be using sockets, and will often display data to the user via (telnet or through ssh) and accept input from them. I will have to implement sockets, and send data and receive data I know, is there a library for this?

I seriously dont believe you want to implement telnet and SSH protocol all by your handwritten code!! That would be too difficult for you.

What I think you want to do is to "Run a command remotely". is it?

If yes then you you would need to execute the command as told by DevSolar but you will need to generate SSH keygen to be installed so that it doesnt ask for password at the prompt.

Else write an expect script.

I am not quite sure what you are asking here.

You can execute a remote program via:

ssh <user>@<machine> "<command>"

(Provided you have prepared a passphrase-less pubkey authentication; you'd be asked for a password / passphrase otherwise. The very first invokation will also require user input as SSH wants to verify the fingerprint of the remote machine.)

You could then capture the output of that command line (which is equivalent to the output of the remote command, unless ssh itself belches an error) via the usual means.
