You can connect to a remote computer quickly by entering a
command at the Address bar or at the local prompt without creating
a session. You can get the local prompt by closing the Sessions dialog box at startup.
Enter one of the following commands at the local prompt:
Xshell> telnet hostname
Xshell> ssh hostname
Xshell> rlogin hostname
Note: If the remote computer doesn't use the default
port, you need to provide a port number at the end of the command.
For more information on the commands, see Xshell local commands.
Enter one of the following commands into the Address
bar:
telnet://hostname
ssh://hostname
rlogin://hostname
Press the Enter key or click Go.
Note: You can also enter a user name and a port number at
the commands. For more information on the command usage, see
Address bar. If you are already
connected to a remote computer, the Address bar commands will open
a new Xshell window.
