The function SSHplus-pass
supplies a password (which is stored in a global variable for as long as the
PowerShell window stays open). There are also functions SSHplus-path which allows setting a path for the temporary PS1 file
we create, and SSHplus-timeout
which allows you to tune the timeout from the default 4 seconds. Instead of Windows SSH.exe (or SSH), run SSH+ -
simples!
Note 1: If you’ve
never connected to the host before, you will need to cache the SSL key. Use ssh.exe for
this.
Note 2: If nothing’s
happening, could be that ssh.exe / rssh.exe is still running in the background,
kill that and all should be good again.
