Answer 2

To create a directory on a remote machine, you will have to first connect to it.Telnet and SSH and SSH is used to connect to remote machines. Obviously TELNET or SSH service should be running on the remote machine, otherwise you won't be able to connect.Since in case of Telnet,data is transfered in plain text, it's better to use SSH protocol.

Once connected to the remote machine using SSH, you will be able to execute commands on the remote machine.

Now since you want to do everything in Python, you will have to write a complete SSH client in Python. Which is greate for learning, because you will learn about socket programming and cryptography.

If you are in a hurry, you can use a good SSH library.

If you are getting network connection error, please check whether SSH is installed in the remote machine or not. If yes, then check firewall settings.
