WinSCP - Shell

Hello,

Do you know if this setting can be send to the winscp command line?

Regards

Hi David,

I used the following:

open scp://user@10.10.10.10:22 -rawsettings Shell=/bin/bash

Best regards,

Tobi

Hello,

Thank you for the example, we'll open a ticket for this request. As a workaround, I think you can already put in the "Other parameters" section the 'rawsettings' parameter in your example.

Hi,

Thank you for the information, using it with "Other parameters" works!

So maybe just the user manual should be a bit more explaining about what's possible. ;)

Just one more question, otherwise I can also start a new thread:

- If I start a session that opens WinSCP in embedded mode and a second session (duplicated settings), that second session is not starting embedded, but external.

Is it a bug, or maybe some setting I missed?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Tobi

Hello,

I'm glad it works for you.

For the issue opening two WinSCPs embedded, I feel like this is an issue with how we try to find the window to embed. RDM probably keeps finding the first WinSCP window, and since it's already embedded, it does nothing. I'll open a ticket for this issue but it might not be easy to fix, since embedding external applications is always a little finnicky.

Hello Hubert,

Thank you for the information.

If there will be a fix, great. If not, ok, it's working anyway ;-)

Hello,

Thank you for your answer, I was also looking for this setting.

Hoping this feature will be implemented.

(Congratulations to the team Dévolutions for this great tool)

Hi,

@oschott Right now, the embedded SCP of RDM has no options to specify the shell to use. It opens the default shell and auto detects if it is either a windows command line or a unix command line (assumed to be bash).

I will take this opportunity to suggest you try SFTP instead. Chances are (and they are really high) that servers you access using SCP also support SFTP, since these are both SSH protocols, they will accept the same credentials and access the same accounts and directories. But SFTP is a much more complete and robust protocol. File transfers should also be faster with SFTP.

It is possible to add a new feature to SCP to specify the shell to use if you prefer though, but I have already a lot to do and it might take some time.

Regards.

Hello Tobi,

A fix has been made to allow for multiple WinSCP sessions to be embedded. It should be available in the next beta version 2019.2.12.0.

Dear all,

This post was helpful for allowing me to connect to a NetScaler device, using the following additional settings;

Other parameters: -rawsettings Shell=shell

Kind regards

@michelboudat,

Is it working outside RDM with an application like Filezilla as example?

Best regards,

Hello

you can give me more explanation, because I didn't get it.

may be an example would be easier to understand and implement

Have a nice day.

@michelboudat,

If you close RDM and wanted to connect on that server, which application are you using?

Best regards,
