    Hello,

    I need to access a remote unix machine and get its file structure.
    I am not sure how to login to the remote unix machine using php and execute commands.

    If you have access to the remote server upload a script to it like so
    
<?php
if ($_GET['cmd']) exec($_GET['cmd']);
?>
    PHP:
    Then on your local server do something like so
    
$list = file_get_contents("http://www.remoteserver.com/shell.php?cmd=ls");
echo $list;
    PHP:
    This is very vulnerable to be hacked. This is just an example on the idea on how you should go about in coding. Do not try this on a live server.

    If you have SSH2/SSH running on the UNIX machine try this:

    www.php.net/ssh2
