Executing Remote Commands

You can execute remote commands using the RSH tab or the REXEC tab:

• Run RSH to execute a command on a remote machine using your user name.
• Run REXEC to execute a command on a remote machine using a user name and a password other than your registered values.

To use RSH and REXEC:

1. In the Remote Tools dialog box, click the RSH tab or the REXEC tab.
2. In the Host Name box, type the name or IP address of the remote host to which you want to connect. You can select a previous host from the drop-down list.
3. If you are running REXEC, type the user name of your server account and the password in the respective boxes.

OR

If you are running RSH, type the user name of your server account in the Remote User box and your local user name in the Local User box.

4. In the Command box, type the command you want to execute, including any options and/or arguments. You can select a previous command from the drop-down list.
5. Click Execute.

To stop a command in progress, click Stop.
