opening ad-hoc telnet/ssh session with RDM
TLDR: my question is in last line:
Hello team. I have an application which does ssh/telnet sessions to some external terminals. I can click on the terminal name and it will do telnet to specific IP port. Those IPs/ports are dynamic and changing frequently, so I tis not practical to create a session for them on RDM.
The tool lets me choose my terminal type and it will trigger a command line with some options in order to open telnet session with the desired tool (Putty, RoyalTS, secureCRT...etc). For aforementioned tools there is a command line to start an ad-hoc session by knowing protocol, IP address, and port number.
However, there doesn't seem to be an option to use RDM based on those info. I have an IP and port and want to initiate telnet session to those ports via RDM. I don't have a session saved in RDM for this IP/port.
Is there a command line to start telnet/ssh session from RDM when session isn't saved in RDM as it is only temporal ad-hoc session (for putty, for example, the command line will be something like: putty.exe -telnet 192.168.253.128 22)

Hello,
The Quick Connect feature combined with a Telnet Template should fulfill your goal.

Thank you Erica.
Quick connect is a useful feature. What I need is actually the command line that allows me to run quick connect session.
The tool I am using is invoking a command to open the session. For other tools there is a command line option. For RDM, I am not sure if this is available.
I can read the following document (but it doesn't show how to run quick connect session from CLI): https://docs.devolutions.net/kb/remote-desktop-manager/how-to-articles/command-line-arguments/

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
Using the command line combined with an existing Telnet template from your data source is possible.
You will need the following information:
- ID of your data source
- ID of the Template entry
- IP address or hostname
- Username
- Password
Here is a sample of this command.
RemoteDesktopManager.exe /Datasource:39A5443D-72F8-4408-B209-9CB8DC6679C6 /Template:48db2a34-db80-4c56-91f4-fa6d4a7a60b4 /Host:192.168.168.168 /UserName:admin /Password:adminpassword

Amazing!! Thank you.
That's working just fine. I had to add "/Title" parameters to distinguish different sessions. and now it is working as I wanted.
Many thanks for your support Erica.
