The Remote Command Line window in IBM® Systems Director displays
a command-line interface to a remote system.
Introduction
You
can use the Remote Command Line window to establish a fully active
command session with a remote system. A remote command line session
is non-graphical, so when it is started, a command prompt window opens.
When
you are targeting a system that is running UNIX® or Linux®,
remote command line uses the secure shell (ssh) protocol. If the ssh
server on the system does not respond, the remote command line attempts
to use the Telnet protocol to connect to the system.
Note: For systems
running IBM i
(formerly i5/OS®),
remote command line uses only the Telnet protocol.
