Putty/Telnet - Remote connecting w/ Password?

Post by homeshark »

Ideally looking for information on interactively managing a F@HClient remotely via command line. Worst case I'll accept sending single commands each time.

Problem:
All the guides I've seen assume either the (1) the server is local or (2) there is no password on the Server

In my case I have remote servers that utilize a password - no guides show how to connect with a password....
When I connect, I get the 'Welcome to the FAHClient command server' but no matter what I type in next, the connection closes.

Ideas on how to connect with a password?

If it matters I'm on a Windows box.

It should be as simple as typing auth followed by your password and hitting enter

Code: Select all

auth your_password
then use the commands as normal

Also a reminder to not rely on the password for security, especially as there is no encryption and no "fail2ban" like functionality in the client. You should only allow connections to IP addresses/ranges which you trust, and preferably also use the firewall to limit access.
