*SSH

SSH System Library

Description

The *SSH System Library utility provides the ability to connect WindX to a remote host running UNIX or Linux via the SSH protocol.

It can be launched directly from the workstation and takes up to four -arg values:

 

server

Server IP address or Putty saved connection

 

port

Optional Port number (will use 22 or value from saved connection)

 

userid

Optional User ID to use (will prompt if omitted)

 

password

Optional Password to use (will prompt if needed)

The SSH interface can use connections that are pre-configured using Putty (visit https://www.putty.org/). To use a saved connection, simply enter the saved connection name as the server name, and the system will use the Port number, User ID and Password as saved in Putty, regardless of the arguments passed.

(The *SSH System Library utility was added in PxPlus 2016.)
