Simply connect with local prompt or address bar

You can connect to a remote computer quickly by entering a command at the local prompt or at the Address bar. You can get the local prompt by closing the Sessions dialog box at startup.

To connect to a remote computer at the local prompt:

Enter one of the following commands at the local prompt:

  • [C:\~]$ telnet hostname
  • [C:\~]$ ssh hostname:22
  • [C:\~]$ rlogin hostname
  • [C:\~]$ open session_name



Note

If the remote computer doesn't use the default port, you need to provide a port number at the end of the command. 


To connect to a remote computer at the Address bar:

  1. Enter one of the following commands into the Address bar:
    • hostname_or_ip
    • telnet://hostname
    • ssh://hostname
    • rlogin://hostname

  2. Press the Enter key or click Go.
