This approach only works if you use the administrator "root".
You can also specify parameters that are to be passed to the external program. The following predefined identifiers will be expanded before the program is called:
- %a IP address of the selected device
- %s SSH port of the selected device
- %h FQDN of the device if one was used, otherwise the same as %a
- %m Physical (MAC) address of the device
- %n Name of the device
- %p Stored password of the device
- %u Stored administrator of the device
Enclose the program file path in quotation marks if it contains blanks. If no blanks are included in the file path, no quotation marks are needed.
Information for the individual parameters (e.g. the IP address) can be entered in the device properties.
The external call for an existing PuTTY installation could be as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Putty\putty.exe" -ssh root@%h -pw %p -P %s
