Overview
The Remote Command control is used to execute a command on a
server and return the output of that command to the client. This is
most commonly used with UNIX based servers, although there are
implementations of remote command servers for the Windows operating
system. The control supports both the rcmd and rshell remote
execution protocols and provides functions which can be used to
search the data stream for specific sequences of characters. This
makes it extremely easy to write Windows applications which serve as
light-weight client interfaces to commands being executed on a UNIX
server or another Windows system. The control can also be used to
establish a remote terminal session using the rlogin protocol, which
is similar to the Telnet protocol.
This control should not be used when connecting to a server
over the Internet because the user credentials are sent as
unencrypted text. For secure remote command execution and interactive
terminal sessions, it is recommended that you use the SocketTools
Secure Shell (SSH) control instead.
Requirements
The SocketTools ActiveX Edition components are self-registering
controls compatible with any programming language that supports COM
(Component Object Model) and the ActiveX control specification. If
you are using Visual Basic 6.0 you must have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools.
This control is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for the operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ActiveX controls.
Native 64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute an application that uses this control, you can
either install the file in the same folder as your application
executable or as a shared component in the appropriate system folder.
If you install the control in the system folder, it is important that
you distribute the correct version for the target platform and it
must be registered. If you install the control in the same folder as
your executable, it is recommended that you use registration-free
activation or COM redirection to ensure that the correct version of
the control is loaded by the application.
