Title: Remotely control client command line
Post by: uebmaster on April 27, 2013, 12:03:34 PM

Is there something on TCZ repository apps, like  hamashi?
Something to remote control a command line client or shell (on regular suport)?
I need something out-of-the box: I cannot ask permission to clients, to configure their routers.
They don't like it!...
So, tunnelling with SSH, or tools like "screen" are out of question (I think)...

Someone has an idea on this?

Thanks in advance.

I take it you are referring to WAN and not LAN. The whole point about being able to configure routers is to be able to
control what traffic and protocols are allowed to pass. If a client has their router locked down to restrict traffic, you may
have no choice than to request they open a port for you.

But they are OK with you just sneaking in?
The simplest would probably be running something like dropbear.

Yeap: we are talking about a kisok that is installed on client's side.
They have all the reasons to get us in for suport.

Thak you for your help.
I'm gonna check "dropbear".

Thank you

Hi minval
Dropbear is ssh, so port 22 needs to be open.

How about Chrome Remote Desktop?

Clients would need to install chrome, setup a Google account, and then send you a passkey to gain control of the system.
Not cli, on x, and it is outside of the repos.
