Transfer Files using script + SSH

Transfer Files using script + SSH

Hello,

Currently we are using RunAsSpc Uprage in order to connect to our servers.
We want to move this to Remote Desktop Manager, but are having 1 problem.

Using UpRage, we can select the servers we want to transfer files to, and then make a job for it and execute them.

My Question:
Is this also possible using Remote Desktop Manager without connecting to the server.
We don't want to this this while connected to the server because we have around 60 server per country.

While transferring these files, we also want a dos output shown. This is because we sometimes also use scripts that will show us what software etc. is installed.


Currently we have Remote Desktop Manager Enterprise Edition 10.6.7.0.
If the question above is not available in our current version, we will update to the needed version for this.


Regards,
Mitch

Hi,
this is not something we support. Could you post few example from Uprage on how they handle the UI? Honestly I don't know this product. By the way RDM 10 is a really old version.

UpRage is a application like Remote Desktop Manager (But with way less functionallity).

On Start-up you will see our connection lists (All of our remote computers) where we can connect to.
Via this way we can connect by RDP (Just like RDM does).

If we want to transfer files to this remote computer, we select the computers (Arround 50 each time) and select a job for this (The script where we say we want to transfer things to).

The job looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<JobList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<items>
<job>
<jobCount>0</jobCount>
<jobType>sendingSshFile</jobType>
<destinationFolder>Location on remote computer</destinationFolder>
<destinationFileName />
<sourceFileFullPath>Location on the server where Uprage is</sourceFileFullPath>
<consoleOutput />
<overwriteExistingFile>false</overwriteExistingFile>
<direction>true</direction>
<addDate>false</addDate>
<addPlace>false</addPlace>
<speed>25</speed>
<compress>false</compress>
<errorMessage />
<commandType>sendSshFile</commandType>
<checkSuccess>false</checkSuccess>
<pluginName>Transfer files</pluginName>
<state>inQueue</state>
</job>
</items>
<description> </description>
</JobList>

Via this way, we can send files to a lot of our systems at the same time.

Do you just send the file or it's a script executed on the remote server?

The script is creating a connection via SSH, and will then execute the commands listed above.
This is for transferring files.

So we just send the file thanks to the script.

I will add a feature request

Hello,

I'm also interested into a similar feature.
We are currently using MobaXterm where (when connected to Linux-servers via SSH) you have in the left pane a browser tab which allows for easy drag-and-drop file transfer.
It would be perfect if RDM would also have such a feature as it would prevent us from having to open a second connection when we're already connected via SSH.

Kind Regards,
Sven

Hello Sven,

This is a great feature request. We'll also add it to our todo list :)

Dear team,

I'm bumping this request because I was curious if this has been rolled out yet or fixed in a different way.
We would like to be able to send files from our central server (Where Remote Desktop Manager is configured) to our other systems. We also would like to be able to remotely execute scripts and get a return message with success or fail or something like that.

Short summary of how this process would look like our way:

  • Send files to (multiple) system(s) (.bat file and .xml files)
  • Once the files are received on the client side, we remotely execute the .bat file which will update (For example replace a config) the system.
  • Once done, we get a message like "Success" or "Failed".


Is this possible in RDM and if so, how?

We are currently on RDM version 2022.2.16.0


Kind Regards,
Mitch

Hello Mitch,

I don't think we have anything that can accomplish this whole scenario. I would encourage you to post a new thread in our Feature Request forum about your request, it will be easier for us to keep track of it, and if other users are interested in the feature, it will be easier for them to chime in.

Regards,

Hubert Mireault
