    username = user
    password = passw
    command = cmd
    try:
        ssh=paramiko.SSHClient()
        ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
        ssh.connect(hostname,port,username,password)
        stdin,stdout,stderr=ssh.exec_command('ls -ltr')
        outlines = stdout.readlines()
        resp = ''.join(outlines)
        # print(resp)
        return True
    except Exception as e:
