host command line
by xxBaSToSxx on Sat Sep 29, 2007 8:10 am
I did'nt find any reference to a command line argument for the client agent.What I would like to do is a shortcut that lauch a reverse connection from the host (like the "connect to client" command when you righ click on systray icon)
We are using this solution with VNC but we have in project to use Miniremote instead.
Today we have several hotliners behind a NAT router : each hotliner's computer has an open port and our clients use preset icons wich launch a reverse connection to the port of the hotliner.
So is there a way to specify something like
DWRCS.EXE -c: -x: -h: -m:hotliners.mycompany.com -u:username -p:password -o:6130 -a:1
or is there an other solution.

Unfortunately, the current implementation is not directly geared for this type of use. We do plan on adding additional functionality into a future version of the software, but I just cannot make any promises when this may be available.
However, perhaps this may help you out:
Beginning back in version 6.2.0.1 and above, we added a new command line option for the MRC CLient Agent (DWRCS -carc), which will have the MRC Client Agent's "Reverse Connect" dialog automatically displayed. However, it will require user interaction on the remote machine to provide (or select) the correct IP-Address and Port and then press Enter to initiate this Reverse Connection attempt. This is by design.
There is also a way to have the Reverse Connection (i.e Right-Click on the MRC SysTray icon and select Connect to Client) pre-populated with a set of IP-Addresses & ports as well (i.e. your public IP-Address, etc....). To automatically add entries (HostNames, or IP-Addresses) to the "Connect to Client" Drop-Down list, you can use the following Registry keys (this is stored profile specific, for each different user). The values are in groups of two (Host & Port), and then Last/Port is the one that is currently selected within the list.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DameWare Development\NT Utilities\DNTU\DWRCC Settings\Connect To Client]
"Last"="192.168.1.100" (ip-address)
"Port"=dword:000017f2 (hex for 6130)
"Host0"="192.168.1.1"
"Port0"=dword:000017f2
Host1"="192.168.1.2"
"Port1"=dword:000017f2
.......
.......
"Hostx"="192.168.1.100"
"Portx"=dword:000017f2
This functionality is included in the current version of the software & client agent service on our website.
I hope this helps.

Thanks Bryan
The "pre-populated" is a good alternative for us, we could easily tell the client to specify the port only.

hi,
I just bought my full licence & now experiencing in real.
pre-populated set of IP-Addresses & ports doesnt work for me, only the "Last" entry is ok
others "host0...host1..etc" are not displayed when used -carc switch
Here's my reg file :
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DameWare Development\NT Utilities\DNTU\DWRCC Settings\Connect To Client]
"Last"="sebastien.mydomain"
"Port"=dword:000017f2
"Host0"="sebastien.mydomain"
"Port0"=dword:000017f3
"Host1"="denis.mydomain"
"Port1"=dword:000017f4
"Host2"="thierry.mydomain"
"Port2"=dword:000017f5
"Host3"="hubert.mydomain"
"Port3"=dword:000017f6
"Host4"="aurelien.mydomain"
"Port4"=dword:000017f7
"Host5"="nathalie.mydomain"
"Port5"=dword:000017f8
"Host6"="sebmaison.mydomain"
"Port6"=dword:000017f2

I found it
in fact you must have a [space] between Host & the number
so correct regfile is :
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DameWare Development\NT Utilities\DNTU\DWRCC Settings\Connect To Client]
"Last"="sebastien.mydomain"
"Port"=dword:000017f2
"Host 0"="sebastien.mydomain"
"Port 0"=dword:000017f3
"Host 1"="denis.mydomain"
"Port 1"=dword:000017f4
"Host 2"="thierry.mydomain"
"Port 2"=dword:000017f5
"Host 3"="hubert.mydomain"
"Port 3"=dword:000017f6
"Host 4"="aurelien.mydomain"
"Port 4"=dword:000017f7
"Host 5"="nathalie.mydomain"
"Port 5"=dword:000017f8
"Host 6"="sebmaison.mydomain"
"Port 6"=dword:000017f2

Well, it would be a Good Thing [TM] if DameWare would fix the KB article The Reverse Connection that explains this, because in the KB article it shows the REG entries with NO SPACE between "Host" and the number .

The Reverse Connection knowledgebase article has been updated to reflect this information.

Thanks,
Thank YOU.
Now what we need is a way to roll out the Mini Remote client service in one simple operation, like the UltraVNC SingleClick client. If the remote service accepted command-line arguments or used an INI file in addition to the registry settings this would be very helpful.

I use software rather than using command line.
